Know before you buy
The 58.35mm diameter is precision-engineered to provide a tighter fit within standard 58mm portafilter baskets. This reduces the amount of loose coffee grounds left on the sidewalls, resulting in a more uniform puck and fewer chances for channeling.
The ripple base is designed to create small grooves in the surface of the coffee puck. These channels help distribute water more evenly across the grounds during extraction, which can lead to a more balanced flavor profile.
No, the pressure is calibrated to a fixed 30 lbs. This design is intended to remove the guesswork from your tamping routine, ensuring consistent results every time you pull a shot.
The click acts as a tactile and auditory confirmation that you have reached the exact 30 lbs of pressure required. Once you hear the click, you know the tamp is complete, preventing over- or under-tamping.
The tamper is designed for easy maintenance and includes a spare spring and guide. If you notice a change in the resistance or the click mechanism, you can easily disassemble the unit to replace these components.
This tamper is compatible with most professional-style 58mm portafilters. We recommend verifying that your specific machine uses a 58mm basket size to ensure a proper fit.
