Know before you buy
This tamper is designed for standard 58mm baskets. The 58.5mm diameter is specifically engineered to provide a tighter fit, reducing the amount of loose coffee grounds left on the sidewalls of the basket for a more even extraction.
To maintain the wood's finish, avoid submerging the handle in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil to keep the walnut hydrated and vibrant.
The Wiedemann tamper is constructed as a cohesive, seamless unit. It is designed for stability and durability, so the handle and base are not intended to be swapped or detached.
Yes, the stainless steel base provides a solid, balanced weight that helps you apply consistent pressure. This makes it easier to achieve a level coffee bed without needing to exert excessive force.
The seamless design prevents coffee grounds from getting trapped in crevices, making the tamper much easier to clean. It also ensures a smooth, comfortable grip that won't irritate your palm during repeated use.
