Lelit Tamper

This tamper is specifically designed for the LELIT58 group and features a diameter of 58.55 mm. While it may fit other 58mm baskets, we recommend verifying your specific basket dimensions to ensure a precise, snug fit for even extraction.

No, this tamper is not dishwasher safe. The walnut wood handle should be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth, and the stainless steel base can be rinsed by hand and dried immediately to maintain its finish.

The slightly larger 58.55 mm diameter is engineered to minimize the gap between the tamper and the basket walls. This helps prevent 'side-channeling,' where water bypasses the coffee puck, leading to a more consistent and balanced espresso shot.

The handle is designed for ergonomics and grip rather than heavy weight. Because the base is made of durable stainless steel, it provides the necessary density to compress your coffee grounds effectively with a firm, steady press.

Walnut is a dense, durable hardwood that holds up well to regular kitchen use. With occasional care, such as applying a food-safe wood oil, the handle will maintain its aesthetic and tactile quality for years.
