Know before you buy
The 58.35mm diameter is precision-engineered to provide a tighter fit within standard 58mm precision baskets. This minimizes the amount of coffee grounds left on the sidewalls, helping to prevent channeling and ensuring a more uniform extraction.
The tamper utilizes a four-spring internal mechanism that triggers an audible 'click' once the pre-set pressure is reached. This provides tactile and auditory feedback, ensuring you apply the exact same force to every puck regardless of who is pulling the shot.
Yes, the tamper features an adjustable height mechanism that allows for up to 13mm of travel. This makes it easy to calibrate the tool to your specific basket depth and the volume of coffee grounds you are using.
The flat base is designed to create a perfectly level surface, which is essential for even water distribution during extraction. By ensuring the puck is compressed horizontally, you reduce the risk of uneven flow and sour or bitter spots in your espresso.
Weighing in at 450g, the tamper has a substantial, premium feel that provides natural stability during use. The weight, combined with the automatic rebound feature, helps reduce wrist fatigue while maintaining a steady, vertical press.
The tamper is constructed from durable SUS304 stainless steel and aluminum alloy, which are resistant to rust and wear. Simply wipe the base clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use; avoid submerging the handle in water to protect the internal spring components.
