RSVP Tamper

This tamper is specifically designed for portafilters with a 49mm diameter. It is confirmed to be compatible with the ROK Manual Espresso Maker, but you should verify your machine's specific portafilter basket size before purchasing.

Yes, a flat base is generally preferred for creating a uniform puck density. It helps prevent channeling by ensuring the coffee grounds are compressed evenly across the entire surface of the basket.

The handle is designed with a balanced, ergonomic shape that provides a secure grip. While it is made of stainless steel, it is weighted to feel substantial and stable in your hand during the tamping process.

The 18/8 stainless steel base is durable and resistant to corrosion. You can easily clean it by wiping it down with a damp cloth after use; avoid using abrasive scrubbers to keep the surface smooth and free of scratches.

The red or blue acrylic accent is primarily a design feature that adds a touch of color to your coffee station. It does not affect the performance or weight of the tamper, but it does offer a nice aesthetic contrast to the stainless steel.
