Know before you buy
Vegetable-tanned leather is durable, but it is a natural material that can stain or warp if left saturated with water or coffee. We recommend wiping any spills immediately with a dry cloth to maintain the integrity and appearance of the mat.
The mat is designed with a substantial 4mm thickness, which provides enough weight and grip to stay stable on most countertop surfaces during standard tamping pressure.
The rings provide a dedicated, tactile guide for your portafilter or tamper. They help you maintain a consistent workflow and ensure your tools are placed in the exact same spot every time you prepare a shot.
The mat measures 245mm by 180mm, providing a generous surface area that accommodates standard commercial and home portafilters. The centering rings are designed to help align most common tamper sizes.
Keep the mat clean by brushing off loose coffee grounds after each use. If the leather begins to look dry over time, you can apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and protected.
