Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically engineered for LELIT58 group heads. While it features a 58.55mm diameter, we recommend verifying your machine's specific basket size to ensure a precise fit.
The walnut handle is finished for durability, making it resistant to the heat and humidity typical of a home coffee station. To maintain its appearance, simply wipe it clean with a dry cloth and avoid submerging it in water.
The slightly larger 58.55mm diameter is designed to provide a tighter fit within the filter basket. This minimizes the amount of coffee grounds left on the sidewalls, leading to more even extraction and less channeling.
No, the stainless-steel base is permanently attached to the walnut handle. This construction ensures a solid, wobble-free feel during the tamping process.
You can clean the base by wiping it with a damp cloth after use. Because it is made of high-quality stainless steel, it is naturally resistant to corrosion, but it should not be placed in the dishwasher.
