Lelit Tamper

This tamper is specifically designed for the Lelit58 group head, which features a 58.55 mm diameter. It will work with other machines that utilize a standard 58.5 mm portafilter basket, but you should verify your machine's exact basket size to ensure a precise fit.

The walnut handle is finished for durability, but like all natural wood products, it should be kept dry. We recommend wiping it down with a damp cloth after use and avoiding submersion in water or the dishwasher to maintain the wood's integrity and finish.

Yes, the slightly larger 58.55 mm diameter is designed to fit more snugly within precision baskets. This helps minimize the amount of loose coffee grounds left on the sidewalls of the basket, leading to more even extraction and less mess.

This tamper features a flat base, which is the industry standard for achieving a level, uniform puck. A flat base is generally preferred for ensuring consistent water flow through the coffee grounds during extraction.

The stainless steel base can be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth immediately after tamping. Because the handle is made of natural walnut, avoid using harsh detergents or soaking it, as this can dry out or damage the wood over time.
