Know before you buy
This tamper is designed specifically for 58mm portafilter baskets. While it fits most professional-style machines, you should verify that your specific espresso machine uses a 58mm basket before purchasing.
A flat base provides a uniform, level surface across the entire coffee puck. This consistency helps prevent channeling and ensures an even extraction, which is the standard for most modern espresso preparation.
Weighing in at 400g, this tamper provides enough natural heft to help you apply consistent pressure without needing to exert excessive force. The balance between the stainless steel base and the handle makes it easy to achieve a level tamp.
Bakelite is a durable, heat-resistant material that offers a smooth, ergonomic grip. It feels substantial in the hand and remains comfortable even when you are pulling multiple shots in a row.
No, this is a fixed-base tamper. Its solid, hand-crafted construction is designed for long-term durability and stability, meaning the base is permanently integrated with the handle.
