Cafelat Tamper

This tamper is designed specifically for 58mm portafilter baskets. It is compatible with most professional-style espresso machines, including brands like E61 group heads, Rancilio, and Nuova Simonelli, but you should verify your machine's basket size before purchasing.

Yes, the rubber wood is a dense, sustainable hardwood chosen for its longevity and resistance to moisture. With basic care—such as wiping it clean after use and avoiding submersion in water—it will hold up well to daily espresso preparation.

The stainless steel base provides a satisfying, substantial feel that helps you apply even pressure across the coffee bed. The added weight reduces the physical effort required to achieve a level, consistent puck compared to lighter, plastic alternatives.

The handle is securely attached to the stainless steel base for stability during use. You can easily clean the base by wiping it with a damp cloth, which is sufficient for maintaining hygiene since it only comes into contact with dry coffee grounds.

A precise 58mm diameter ensures a snug fit within your portafilter basket, minimizing the gap between the tamper and the basket walls. This prevents 'side-channeling,' where water bypasses the coffee puck, leading to a more uniform and balanced extraction.
