Lelit Tamper

This tamper is specifically designed for the LELIT57 group head, which uses a 57.35 mm diameter. It will not provide a proper fit for standard 58 mm commercial machines or other non-Lelit group sizes.

To preserve the wood, wipe the handle with a damp cloth after use and avoid submerging it in water or placing it in the dishwasher. Periodically applying a food-safe wood oil can help maintain the finish and prevent the wood from drying out.

Yes, the solid stainless steel base provides enough heft to help you achieve a level, uniform tamp with less physical effort. A consistent, level press is the most critical factor in ensuring balanced water flow through your coffee grounds.
