Saint Anthony Industries Model S Espresso Tamper

This tamper is designed for standard 58mm commercial-style baskets. The 58.3mm diameter provides a tighter fit to reduce grounds left on the sidewalls, but you should verify that your specific portafilter basket is compatible with a precision-fit tamper.

The sharp edge is engineered to ensure a clean, consistent compression all the way to the edge of the basket. This helps prevent channeling and ensures an even extraction across the entire puck.

Since the handle is made from natural hardwood, it should be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh detergents, and consider applying a food-safe wood oil occasionally to keep the walnut finish looking its best.

Yes, the Model S features a modular design with a screw-on base. This allows you to easily remove and replace the stainless steel base without needing to purchase an entirely new tamper.

Because each tamper is handcrafted from natural walnut, the wood grain and color tone will be unique to your specific piece. You can expect natural variations that make your tamper one-of-a-kind.
