Know before you buy
This tamper features a 58.3mm base, which is designed to fit standard 58mm commercial-style portafilter baskets. It is compatible with most professional-grade machines, including La Marzocco models, but you should verify your specific basket diameter to ensure a precise fit.
The handle is finished with natural beeswax and lemon oil. To keep it in top condition, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid submerging it in water or placing it in the dishwasher.
Yes, the stainless steel base is designed to be removable. This allows for easy cleaning and ensures that if the base ever sustains damage, you can replace it without needing to purchase an entirely new tamper.
Because the handle is crafted from natural maple, each piece features unique grain patterns and color variations. These natural characteristics are expected and mean your specific tamper will be one-of-a-kind.
The combination of the stainless steel base and the ergonomic maple handle provides a balanced, substantial feel. This weight helps you apply consistent pressure more easily, which is essential for achieving an even extraction.
