Know before you buy

Yes, the Really Nice Tamper includes two interchangeable springs rated at 9kg and 12kg. You can easily swap these to match your preferred tamping force or specific coffee roast requirements.
Yes, it is designed to fit most standard 58mm espresso baskets. It is specifically optimized for use with Weber Workshops' own Unifilter and Unibaskets for the best possible fit.
The design features an exposed angle that makes it easy to wipe down. Because the base is made of stainless steel and the body is anodized aluminum, you can simply use a damp cloth to remove any stray coffee grounds.
The flat top is engineered to provide a stable surface for your palm, allowing for efficient and even power transfer. This design helps you apply consistent downward pressure without straining your wrist.
The handle material is primarily an aesthetic and ergonomic choice. While the standard anodized aluminum handle is durable and sleek, the optional stabilized hardwood handles offer a different tactile feel and a more personalized look for your coffee station.
