Revolution Espresso Tamper

The choice depends on the specific tolerance of your espresso machine's portafilter basket. If you are using a precision basket like a VST or IMS, the 58.4mm tamper provides a tighter fit to minimize side-channeling, while the 58.3mm is a safer, more universal choice for standard stock baskets.

Acetal is a high-performance engineering plastic that is exceptionally durable and impact-resistant. It is significantly lighter than metal, which helps reduce wrist fatigue during high-volume use while still providing a solid, ergonomic grip.

This tamper is designed for machines that use a standard 58mm group head, such as those from La Marzocco, Rancilio, E61 group heads, and many others. Always verify your specific basket diameter before purchasing to ensure the best possible fit.

At 345g, this tamper offers a balanced feel that provides enough heft to help you apply consistent pressure without requiring excessive force. The weight is distributed to favor the stainless steel base, which helps keep the tamper level during the compression process.

The Revolution True Tamp features a flat base, which is the industry standard for achieving an even, level puck. A flat base is generally preferred for modern espresso preparation as it ensures uniform density across the entire coffee bed.
