Know before you buy
This tamper has a base diameter of 53.35mm and is specifically designed for 53mm portafilters. Please verify your machine's portafilter size before purchasing, as it will not provide a proper seal in 58mm or 54mm baskets.
The tamper features a three-spring internal system that triggers an audible 'click' once you reach exactly 30lbs of pressure. This provides tactile and auditory confirmation, helping you achieve a level, consistent tamp every time you brew.
The adjustable range allows you to customize the spread of the six needles to match the diameter of your basket. By breaking up clumps and redistributing the grounds, you minimize channeling and ensure a more even water flow during extraction.
Yes, the tool includes six 0.4mm SUS304 stainless steel needles. These are durable and designed to handle the daily friction of grooming coffee grounds without bending easily.
The handle is ergonomically shaped to fit naturally in the palm, which reduces wrist strain during repetitive tamping sessions. The aluminum alloy construction also provides a balanced weight that feels sturdy and stable in the hand.
