Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically sized for espresso machines requiring a 49mm diameter. Before purchasing, please verify the exact basket diameter of your portafilter to ensure a precise fit, as even a millimeter difference can affect your extraction.
No, the handle and base of this specific model are not interchangeable with other Cafelat tamper models. It is designed as a fixed, cohesive unit.
The tamper seat provides a dedicated, stable resting place for your tamper when it is not in use. It helps protect your countertop from scratches and keeps the stainless steel base clean and away from debris.
To maintain the finish of the handcrafted walnut, avoid submerging the handle in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth after use, and occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil if the grain begins to look dry.
A flat base provides a consistent, level surface across the entire coffee puck, which is ideal for preventing channeling and ensuring an even extraction. It is a reliable choice for baristas who prefer a standard, uniform compression.
