IKAPE Espresso Tamper

This tamper has a 51mm diameter. It is designed to fit standard 51mm portafilter baskets, but you should verify the exact basket size of your specific machine model before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

The calibrated spring-loaded design ensures you apply a consistent 22 pounds of pressure every time you tamp. This consistency eliminates human error, preventing uneven extraction and channeling for a more balanced shot.

Yes, the 100% food-safe stainless steel is rust-proof and non-porous, making it very easy to wipe clean after use. It does not require any special maintenance to keep it in professional condition.

The concentric ring design creates a specific pattern on the coffee puck that helps distribute water more evenly across the grounds. This promotes a more uniform extraction, which is essential for achieving a balanced, cafe-quality espresso.

The tamper is designed with an ergonomic, labor-saving mechanism that does the heavy lifting for you. You do not need to rely on the weight of the tool itself, as the internal spring technology provides the necessary pressure with minimal physical effort.
