Know before you buy
The correct size depends on your specific Lelit machine model. The 57.35mm tamper is designed for Lelit machines with 57mm group heads, while the 58.55mm version is intended for standard 58mm commercial-style group heads found on models like the Bianca, Elizabeth, and Mara X.
No, the performance remains consistent regardless of the finish. The choice between wood, aluminium, or bicolour options is purely aesthetic and based on your personal preference for grip and style.
A flat base ensures a perfectly level coffee puck, which is essential for uniform water distribution and preventing channeling. It provides a consistent surface area that makes it easier to achieve an even extraction every time you brew.
Yes, the tamper is balanced at approximately 438g to provide natural downward pressure. This weight distribution helps you achieve a consistent, firm tamp without needing to exert excessive physical force.
To preserve the finish, wipe the wooden handle with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid submerging the handle in water or using harsh detergents, as this can cause the wood to dry out or crack over time.
