Know before you buy
This tamper has a 53mm base diameter. Please verify your specific espresso machine's portafilter basket size before purchasing, as 53mm is a standard size for many home machines but will not fit 58mm or 54mm baskets.

Weighing 0.6 lbs, this tamper provides significantly more heft than standard plastic alternatives. This extra weight helps you apply consistent pressure with less physical effort, resulting in a more stable and level tamp.
Yes, the large, round handle is designed to fit naturally in the palm of your hand. The ABS material is impact-resistant and provides a secure, non-slip grip that remains comfortable even when pulling multiple shots in a row.
