Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically designed for LELIT57 group heads with a diameter of 57.35 mm. It is not compatible with standard 58 mm or 53 mm portafilters, so please confirm your machine's group size before ordering.
Stainless steel is used for the base because it is highly resistant to corrosion and heat, ensuring the tamper remains durable and hygienic over years of daily use. It also provides the necessary weight to help you achieve consistent pressure.
The aluminium handle is shaped to provide a secure, comfortable grip, which makes it easier to apply even pressure across the coffee puck. Consistent, level tamping is essential for preventing channeling and ensuring a balanced extraction.
The handle is low-maintenance and durable. Simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth after use to keep it clean; avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
To get the best results, ensure your coffee bed is level before tamping. Apply firm, vertical pressure to compress the grounds evenly, ensuring the base sits flush against the portafilter basket for a uniform extraction.
