Know before you buy
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for machines with the LELIT57 group head. It features a 57.35 mm base, so please verify your machine's group size before purchasing.
The red wood handle is shaped for an ergonomic grip, which helps you apply consistent pressure more comfortably. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the wood provides a natural, tactile feel that is less slippery than metal or plastic handles when your hands are busy.
The base is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and heat. As long as you wipe it clean and dry it after use, it will maintain its finish and performance over time.
Precision is key to espresso extraction; a tamper that fits perfectly within your portafilter basket ensures there are no gaps around the edges. This prevents 'channeling,' where water flows around the coffee puck rather than through it, resulting in a more balanced and flavorful shot.
To preserve the wood, avoid soaking the tamper in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe the handle with a damp cloth and dry it immediately to keep the finish in top condition.
