Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically designed for the LELIT58 group, featuring a 58.55 mm base. It is compatible with Lelit machines that utilize this standard portafilter size.
No, the handle is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the quality and finish of the natural wood, we recommend cleaning it with a soft, damp cloth and avoiding submersion in water.
The slightly larger 58.55 mm diameter is engineered to provide a tighter fit within the filter basket. This minimizes the amount of loose coffee grounds left on the sidewalls, leading to a more uniform extraction.
The Zebrano wood handle is shaped for an ergonomic, firm grip, providing better control during the tamping process. Combined with the weighted stainless steel base, it offers a balanced feel that helps you achieve consistent pressure.
The stainless steel base is highly resistant to corrosion and heat, making it very low maintenance. Simply wipe the base clean after each use to prevent coffee oil buildup and ensure a smooth surface for your next shot.
