Know before you buy
This tool features a 58mm diameter on both the tamper and leveler sides. It is designed to fit most standard commercial-style 58mm portafilter baskets.
Both sides of the tool feature an adjustable collar. You can manually rotate these sections to set your preferred depth, allowing you to lock in a consistent tamping pressure and distribution level for your specific dose.
Yes, the three angled fins on the leveling side are designed to evenly distribute coffee grounds across the basket. This helps prevent channeling, which is a common cause of uneven or bitter espresso extractions.
The tool weighs approximately 0.6kg and is crafted from high-quality stainless steel. This provides a substantial, balanced feel that makes it easy to achieve a firm, level tamp without needing excessive physical force.
The flat tamper base ensures a uniform compression of the coffee bed. Because it is a flat design rather than convex, you should focus on keeping the tool level as you press down to ensure the entire puck is compressed evenly.
