Metallurgica Motta Coffee Tamper

This tamper is designed for standard 58mm portafilter baskets. Before purchasing, verify that your machine uses a 58mm group head, as some home machines use smaller sizes like 54mm or 51mm.

The nonstick coating prevents coffee grounds from sticking to the tamper base during the pressing process. This ensures a cleaner puck surface and makes the tool much easier to wipe down after use.

To preserve the finish of the solid wood handle, hand wash the tamper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.

Yes, the combination of the stainless steel base and solid wood handle provides a balanced, substantial feel. This weight helps you apply the necessary pressure to achieve a level, consistent coffee bed without excessive physical effort.

The ergonomic shape is designed to fit comfortably in the palm, reducing wrist strain during repetitive use. It is particularly helpful if you are pulling multiple shots back-to-back or prefer a specific tamping technique that requires a firm grip.
