Know before you buy
You should measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket or check your machine's manual for the specific basket size. The 51mm, 53mm, and 58mm options are standard, but choosing the exact size that matches your basket is critical for an even extraction.
A calibrated tamper is designed to click or stop once a specific amount of pressure is applied. This removes the guesswork from your tamping technique, ensuring you apply the same consistent force to every puck for more predictable espresso shots.
A flat base is the industry standard for most home and professional setups because it creates a perfectly level surface across the entire coffee bed. This helps prevent channeling and ensures water flows evenly through the grounds.
The tamper features a detachable design, allowing you to separate the base from the handle for a thorough cleaning. Simply wipe the stainless steel base with a damp cloth or rinse it with warm water and mild soap, ensuring it is completely dry before your next use.
No, the tamper is crafted from 304 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and rust. It is a durable material designed specifically to withstand the moisture and acidity involved in daily espresso preparation.
