Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically designed for the LELIT58 group and features a 58.55 mm base. While it may physically fit other machines with a 58 mm portafilter, it is optimized for the precision tolerances of Lelit equipment.
Zebrano wood is known for its durability and distinct grain pattern. While it is robust, it is a natural material, so it should be kept dry and cleaned with a soft, damp cloth rather than being submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher.
The 58.55 mm diameter is precision-engineered to minimize the gap between the tamper and the portafilter basket. This ensures that the coffee bed is compressed evenly across the entire surface, which prevents channeling and leads to a more consistent extraction.
The Lelit Pressacaffè features a flat stainless steel base. This is the industry standard for achieving a level, uniform puck, which is essential for balanced espresso extraction.
Yes, the ergonomic design is intended to reduce wrist strain during the tamping process. By providing a more natural grip, it allows you to apply consistent pressure more comfortably, which helps maintain a level tamp every time.
