BaristaSpace Coffee Tamper and Portafilter

This set is designed for Breville machines that utilize a 53mm portafilter, such as the Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Bambino Plus, and Infuser. It is not compatible with Breville machines that require a 58mm portafilter, such as the Oracle or Dual Boiler.

A bottomless portafilter allows you to observe the espresso extraction in real-time. This helps you identify issues like channeling or uneven tamping, enabling you to adjust your grind and technique for a more balanced shot.

Both handle materials perform identically in terms of tamping pressure and extraction quality. The choice is purely aesthetic and ergonomic, with wood offering a premium, natural feel and ABS providing a lightweight, durable, and easy-to-clean alternative.

The distributor tool levels the coffee grounds in the basket before you tamp. This ensures an even density across the puck, which helps prevent channeling and leads to a more consistent and flavorful extraction.

Because the tamper is precisely sized for 53mm baskets, it provides a snug fit that minimizes side-wall coffee grounds. Simply ensure you apply level, even pressure to achieve a flat, uniform puck for the best results.
