Know before you buy
The correct size depends on your portafilter basket diameter. The 51mm is designed for De'Longhi and SMEG machines, the 53mm fits standard 54mm Breville baskets, and the 58mm is the industry standard for E61 group heads.
Yes, the tamper is designed with a plate that rests on the rim of your portafilter basket. This ensures the base remains perfectly parallel to the coffee bed, preventing the common issue of slanted pucks that lead to channeling.
The Hypergrind tamper uses a fixed, calibrated spring mechanism designed to provide consistent, optimal pressure for espresso extraction. It is not manually adjustable, which helps maintain repeatability in your daily routine.
To preserve the wood, wipe the handle with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging the tamper in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as moisture can cause the wood to swell or crack over time.
Absolutely. The spring-loaded design does the heavy lifting for you, allowing you to achieve a firm, level tamp without needing to apply excessive downward force or awkward wrist angles.
