Know before you buy
While it is designed for precision, it may not fit all standard 58mm baskets. We recommend checking your specific basket's internal diameter, as this tamper is engineered for a very tight tolerance to minimize side-wall channeling.
The 90-degree edge is designed to reach the very edges of your filter basket. This ensures that no loose coffee grounds are left behind, creating a uniform puck and significantly reducing the risk of channeling during extraction.
The Pesado 58.5 tamper base is specifically designed for the Pesado modular handle system. While it may physically thread onto other handles, we recommend using it with Pesado components to ensure the intended balance and structural integrity.
By providing a near-perfect fit for high-precision baskets, this tamper ensures that force is applied evenly across the entire coffee bed. This consistency helps prevent water from finding paths of least resistance, resulting in a more even extraction and a higher yield.
We recommend hand washing the base with warm water and a mild detergent. Harsh dishwasher chemicals can degrade the finish and potentially affect the precision of the machined edges over time.
