What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the PUSH Adjustable Depth Tamper for its unparalleled consistency and exceptional build quality.

Reviewers appreciate the satisfying weight, robust materials, and precision engineering that convey a professional feel.

Know before you buy
The tamper features a threaded adjustment system that allows you to set the exact depth of the base. By using the included hex key to loosen the grub screw, you can rotate the base to your desired depth and lock it in place, ensuring every tamp is identical.
The PUSH tamper is designed to provide a precise, level fit for standard commercial-sized baskets. We recommend verifying your portafilter basket diameter to ensure compatibility before purchase, as a snug fit is essential for the tool's leveling capabilities.
Unlike traditional tampers that rely on manual pressure and leveling skill, the PUSH is designed to sit flush against the rim of your basket. Simply press down until the tamper body makes contact with the basket edge, which automatically ensures a perfectly level surface every time.
It is constructed from high-quality anodized aluminum and stainless steel. This combination provides a durable, food-safe surface that is resistant to corrosion and built to withstand the demands of daily use.
The design of the tamper base is engineered to distribute coffee grounds evenly across the basket. This results in a highly consistent puck density, which helps prevent channeling and promotes a more uniform extraction compared to standard flat-bottom tampers.
