Lelit Pressacaffè

This tamper is specifically engineered for the LELIT58 group head, which uses a 58.55 mm diameter. While it may physically fit other 58 mm machines, it is optimized for the precise tolerances of Lelit equipment and may not provide the same fit for other brands.

The slightly larger 58.55 mm diameter is designed to minimize the gap between the tamper base and the filter basket walls. This reduces the amount of loose coffee grounds left on the sides, ensuring a more uniform puck and preventing channeling during extraction.

To maintain the wood's finish, avoid soaking the tamper in water or running it through a dishwasher. Simply wipe the handle with a soft, dry cloth after use, and occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil if the wood begins to look dry.

Yes, the solid stainless steel base provides a substantial, balanced feel that helps you apply consistent pressure. The ergonomic walnut handle is shaped to fit comfortably in your palm, making it easier to maintain a level tamp without straining your wrist.

The base is flat, which is the standard preference for most home baristas. A flat base ensures an even compression of the coffee bed, which is essential for consistent water flow and balanced extraction.
