Lelit Espresso Tamper

The 58.55mm diameter is precision-engineered to minimize the gap between the tamper and the basket walls. This tighter fit reduces the amount of loose coffee grounds left on the sides, ensuring a more uniform puck and preventing channeling during extraction.

This tamper is designed for professional-style 58mm portafilter baskets. If your machine uses a standard 58mm basket, the 58.55mm base will provide a snug, high-performance fit.

A flat base is ideal for achieving a perfectly level, even bed of coffee. Because it lacks the curves of convex tampers, you should focus on keeping the tamper parallel to the basket rim to ensure consistent compression across the entire surface.

To preserve the red wood handle, avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth after use and dry it immediately to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.

Yes, the handle is designed to be detachable from the stainless steel base. This allows for easy cleaning and gives you the option to swap handles if you choose to customize your setup in the future.
