Know before you buy
Yes, the 58.5mm diameter is specifically designed to provide a snug fit for most standard 58mm filter baskets, helping to minimize side-channeling and ensure a more even extraction.
The tamper features an adjustable mechanism that allows you to set a specific tamping depth. This ensures that every shot is compressed to the exact same level, providing consistency across your workflow.
The ergonomic palm-style design is intended to reduce wrist strain by allowing you to apply pressure directly through the palm of your hand. It is well-suited for baristas who need to maintain a consistent technique throughout a busy shift.
The base is crafted from durable 304 stainless steel for longevity and food safety, while the handle is constructed from anodized aluminum to keep the tool lightweight yet sturdy.
A flat base is generally preferred for modern espresso preparation because it creates a perfectly level coffee bed. This uniformity helps prevent uneven water flow through the puck, which is essential for balanced flavor extraction.
