Know before you buy
No, this tamper is specifically designed for the LELIT58 group head. It features a precise diameter of 58.55 mm, so please verify that your machine uses this specific group size before purchasing.
The maple wood handle is designed for durability in a kitchen environment, but like all natural wood, it should be kept dry. We recommend wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth and avoiding submersion in water to maintain the finish.
A precise fit is essential for achieving an even extraction. The 58.55 mm diameter ensures that the tamper covers the entire surface of the coffee bed within your LELIT58 portafilter, preventing 'channeling' where water bypasses the coffee grounds.
The base is permanently attached to the handle to ensure stability and consistent pressure during use. You can easily clean the stainless steel surface by wiping it with a clean cloth after each use.
Yes, the combination of the solid stainless steel base and the ergonomic maple handle provides a balanced weight. This helps you apply consistent, level pressure to your coffee grounds with minimal effort.
