Know before you buy
You should measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket. A 51mm, 53mm, or 58mm tamper must match your specific basket size to ensure a snug fit and even compression of the coffee grounds.
The spring-loaded design provides consistent pressure every time you tamp. This removes the guesswork and helps prevent uneven extraction caused by applying too much or too little force.
A flat base is the industry standard for creating a perfectly level coffee bed. It ensures uniform density across the entire puck, which is essential for preventing channeling during the brewing process.
While the stainless steel construction is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water. This preserves the finish and ensures the internal spring mechanism remains in optimal condition.
This tamper is compatible with most standard portafilters, provided you select the correct size for your machine. Always verify your specific basket diameter before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
