Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed to fit standard 58mm portafilter baskets. It is specifically optimized for Breville machines that use this industry-standard size.
The tool features a threaded adjustment mechanism that allows you to independently set the depth of the distribution pins and the tamping base. This ensures you can dial in the perfect depth for your specific dose size.
Yes, the tool comes with 8 detachable pins. You can remove them if you prefer to use fewer pins or need to clean them individually.
It serves as a 2-in-1 solution. The distribution side breaks up clumps and levels the grounds, while the flip side acts as a precision tamper to compress the coffee bed.
Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth after use. Because the handle is made of natural walnut, avoid submerging it in water or using a dishwasher; a quick wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient to maintain the wood.
Channeling often occurs when there are uneven densities or clumps in your coffee bed. By breaking up these clumps and creating a perfectly level surface, the water flows through the puck evenly, resulting in a more balanced and consistent extraction.
