Know before you buy
You should check your espresso machine's manual or measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket with digital calipers. Choosing the correct size is critical to ensure a snug fit and prevent coffee grounds from escaping around the edges during tamping.
A flat base provides a level, even surface across the entire puck, which is the standard for most home baristas. A convex base is slightly rounded and is often preferred by those looking to minimize channeling by slightly compressing the edges of the coffee bed.
Because the handle is made of natural bamboo, it should be hand-washed only with mild soap and dried immediately. Avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or the lacquer finish to degrade over time.
Yes, the tamper seat provides a stable, dedicated resting spot for your tamper when not in use. It protects your countertop from scratches and helps keep your workspace organized and clean during your morning routine.
No, because bamboo is a natural material, each tamper features a unique grain pattern and color variation. You can expect your specific unit to have its own character, which is a hallmark of authentic wood craftsmanship.
