Know before you buy
No, this tamper is specifically engineered with a 45.5mm diameter to fit the unique basket size of the Flair Pro and Pro 2 models. It will not provide a proper fit for standard 58mm or 54mm portafilters.
The spring-loaded design ensures you apply the exact same amount of pressure every time you tamp. This consistency eliminates human error, helping you achieve a level coffee bed and preventing channeling during extraction.
The click feedback acts as a physical indicator that you have reached the calibrated pressure limit. Once you hear and feel the click, you know your tamp is complete and perfectly leveled.
A flat base is generally preferred for modern espresso baskets as it creates a perfectly level surface across the entire puck. This promotes even water distribution and helps prevent uneven extraction, which is essential for a balanced shot.
While not strictly required for tamping, the included silicone stand provides a stable, non-slip surface to rest your tamper between uses. It protects both your countertop and the tamper base from scratches or damage.
