JoeFrex Tamper Base

This base has a 58mm diameter, which is the standard size for many professional-grade espresso machines. However, you should verify your specific portafilter basket size, as some machines use 53mm or 54mm baskets.

This base is specifically designed to be compatible with all JoeFrex tamper handles. It will not necessarily fit handles from other brands due to variations in threading and design.

A stainless steel base provides significantly more weight, which helps you apply consistent pressure with less effort. The precision-machined metal also creates a more even, level puck, leading to more uniform water distribution and better espresso extraction.

Yes, this base is engineered to minimize the gap between the tamper and the basket walls. This 'less play' design helps reduce the amount of loose coffee grounds left on the sides of the basket, ensuring a cleaner and more even tamp.

While stainless steel is durable, we recommend hand washing the base with warm water and mild soap. Harsh dishwasher detergents can sometimes dull the finish or affect the threading over time.
