Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically engineered for the LELIT58 group, which uses a 58.55 mm diameter. While it may physically fit other 58 mm portafilters, it is optimized for the precision tolerances of Lelit machines.
The tamper is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the wood, simply wipe the handle with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid submerging it in water to prevent the wood from warping or drying out.
The 58.55 mm diameter is designed to minimize the gap between the tamper and the portafilter basket walls. This ensures a more uniform puck density and reduces the risk of channeling, leading to a more consistent extraction.
The stainless steel base is highly resistant to heat and corrosion. You can keep it clean by wiping it with a soft cloth after each use to remove any residual coffee oils.
Yes, the walnut handle is shaped to provide a firm, comfortable grip that helps you apply consistent pressure during tamping. Its ergonomic profile is designed to reduce hand fatigue during repeated use.
