Breville Force Gauge Tamper

This tamper is specifically engineered for 58mm Breville portafilters. While it may physically fit other 58mm baskets, the self-levelling mechanism is calibrated for the specific depth and tolerance of Breville equipment.

The gauge allows you to dial in a consistent pressure between 7 kg and 10 kg every time you tamp. By removing the guesswork, you ensure a uniform puck density, which is essential for preventing channeling and achieving a balanced extraction.

The integrated levelling plate rests on the rim of your portafilter basket, ensuring the tamper remains perfectly horizontal during the process. This eliminates lopsided tamping, which is a common cause of uneven water flow and bitter-tasting shots.

Yes, the tamper features a variable force setting that lets you adjust the resistance within the 7 kg to 10 kg range. You can easily set your preferred force to match your specific coffee roast and grind size.

To maintain the wood's finish, avoid submerging the tamper in water or placing it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe the stainless steel base with a damp cloth and occasionally treat the walnut handle with a food-safe wood oil to prevent drying.
