Know before you buy
The tamper features a spring-loaded design that sits flush against the rim of your portafilter basket. As you press down, the base remains perfectly parallel to the coffee bed, preventing the uneven tamping that often leads to channeling.
You should select the size that matches the inner diameter of your portafilter basket. The 51mm is typically for De'Longhi, the 53mm is designed for 54mm baskets like those on Breville machines, and the 58mm is the standard for E61 group heads.
No, this tamper is designed specifically for non-pressurized, professional-style filter baskets. It requires a standard basket diameter to seat correctly and achieve a level tamp.
Not at all. The palm-style design is actually more ergonomic than traditional handles, allowing you to use the weight of your hand and shoulder to apply consistent pressure without straining your wrist.
Wipe the stainless steel base with a damp cloth after use to remove any coffee grounds. For the walnut top, avoid submerging it in water; simply wipe it clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to preserve the wood's finish.
