Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically designed for the LELIT58 group, which uses a 58.55 mm diameter. While it may physically fit into a standard 58mm basket, the precision sizing is intended to minimize side-channeling in Lelit-specific baskets.
The handle is crafted from high-quality walnut, which is naturally durable. To maintain its appearance and prevent the wood from drying out, we recommend wiping it clean with a damp cloth and avoiding submersion in water.
The slightly larger 58.55 mm diameter is engineered to provide a tighter fit within the basket, ensuring that coffee grounds at the edges are compressed as evenly as those in the center. This helps prevent channeling and promotes a more consistent, balanced extraction.
The stainless steel base is permanently attached to the handle for stability and durability. You can easily clean the base by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove any residual coffee oils.
Yes, the solid stainless steel base provides a substantial, balanced weight that helps you apply consistent pressure with less physical effort. This stability is key to achieving a level, uniform puck every time you brew.
