Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically designed for 54mm portafilter baskets, such as those found on Breville or Sage machines. The 53.35mm diameter provides a precise fit to ensure even extraction without getting stuck.
You can easily swap the internal springs by unscrewing the base of the tamper. The process is straightforward and allows you to customize your resistance based on your preferred tamping technique.
Yes, the titanium coating significantly reduces static, which prevents coffee grounds from clinging to the base of the tamper. It also adds a layer of durability and makes the surface much easier to wipe clean after each shot.
The tamper features a mechanical click or 'flash' mechanism that triggers once you reach the calibrated pressure limit. This provides a tactile and audible signal that you have applied the correct amount of force, ensuring consistency across every shot.
The handle is crafted from high-quality walnut and aluminum alloy, designed to withstand the rigors of daily espresso preparation. While the wood provides a comfortable, natural grip, it is best to keep it dry and avoid soaking it in water to maintain its finish.
