The correct size depends entirely on your specific espresso machine's basket diameter. Most commercial-style machines use a 58mm basket, but some home machines require a 57.5mm or smaller tamper for a proper fit. We recommend checking your machine's manual or measuring the inner diameter of your filter basket before purchasing.

The adjustable handle allows you to customize the height of the tamper to fit your hand size and grip style comfortably. This customization helps you maintain a level, consistent tamp every time, which is essential for preventing channeling and ensuring an even extraction.

This tamper features a flat base, which is the industry standard for creating a uniform puck of coffee grounds. A flat base ensures that the pressure is distributed evenly across the entire surface of the grounds, minimizing the risk of uneven extraction.

To preserve the wood handle, wipe it down with a damp cloth and avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher. The stainless steel base can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or rinsed under warm water and dried immediately to prevent water spots.

At approximately 411g, this tamper has a substantial, high-quality feel that provides natural downward pressure. This weight helps you achieve a consistent tamp with less physical effort, making it easier to compress the grounds firmly and evenly.
