Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically designed for Breville machines that use a 58mm portafilter. Please check your specific machine model's portafilter size before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
The integrated gauge allows you to apply a consistent amount of pressure—between 7 kg and 10 kg—every time you tamp. This consistency eliminates one of the biggest variables in espresso making, leading to more balanced and repeatable shots.
The self-levelling feature ensures the tamper face remains parallel to the coffee bed throughout the tamping process. This prevents uneven extraction, or 'channeling,' which occurs when water finds a path of least resistance through an uneven puck.
The 304 stainless steel base can be wiped clean with a damp cloth after use. To preserve the walnut handle, avoid submerging it in water or using harsh detergents; a light application of food-safe wood oil can be used occasionally to keep the wood conditioned.
Yes, the tamper features a variable force gauge with clear indicators, allowing you to dial in your preferred pressure within the 7 kg to 10 kg range to suit your specific coffee roast and grind size.
