Know before you buy
The impact mechanism provides audible sound feedback when the calibrated pressure is reached. This ensures you apply the exact same force to every puck, eliminating the guesswork often associated with manual tamping.
The ripple base creates a textured surface on the coffee puck, which can help improve water distribution and reduce channeling during extraction. It is a popular choice for baristas looking to achieve a more even, balanced shot.
Yes, the tamper features an adjustable height mechanism that allows for up to 13mm of travel. This makes it easy to accommodate different basket depths or varying amounts of ground coffee.
The 58.35mm size is designed for precision-fit baskets, which are slightly wider than standard 58mm baskets. Please check your specific basket's inner diameter to ensure a snug fit, as this size is intended to minimize side-wall gaps.
The four-spring system is designed to keep the tamper base perfectly level as you press down. This prevents the tamper from tilting, which is essential for avoiding uneven extraction and ensuring a uniform puck density.
The tamper is built for durability using a combination of SUS304 stainless steel for the base, along with aluminum alloy and silicone rubber for the handle and internal components.
