Know before you buy
Yes, the internal diameter is 59mm, which provides a perfect, secure fit for standard 58mm and 58.5mm espresso tampers.
As it is made from natural wood, it is best to wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh detergents to preserve the finish.
It provides a dedicated, stable home for your tamper, preventing it from rolling off the counter or scratching your workspace surfaces during busy brewing sessions.
The seat is designed to sit flat on your countertop. While it does not have a rubberized base, the natural wood provides enough friction to stay in place during normal use.
The Walnut option features a solid, uniform dark wood grain, while the Wood Stripes version showcases a layered, multi-tonal aesthetic. Both offer the same dimensions and protective functionality.
