The rebound stopper ensures that the tamper remains perfectly vertical during the tamping process. This helps prevent uneven puck density, which is a common cause of channeling and inconsistent espresso shots.
Yes, the bases are designed to be interchangeable. You can switch between the ripple and arc-shaped 304 stainless steel bases depending on your preference for puck distribution and extraction flow.
