Cafelat Espresso Tamper

You should measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket using digital calipers. Choosing a tamper size that matches your basket diameter ensures a precise fit and prevents coffee grounds from being left behind on the sidewalls.

A flat base provides a level, uniform surface for your coffee bed, which is the standard for most modern espresso setups. A convex base is slightly rounded and is typically chosen by baristas who prefer to minimize channeling or have a specific tamping technique that benefits from a curved surface.

The handle is meticulously hand-finished to achieve a silky smooth feel. While it is designed for durability, we recommend avoiding harsh detergents and keeping it away from prolonged moisture to preserve the natural beauty of the wood.

We recommend hand-washing the stainless steel base with mild soap and water after use. Avoid submerging the wooden handle in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or lose its finish over time.

At approximately 295g, this tamper provides enough heft to help you apply consistent pressure without excessive physical effort. The weight is balanced to offer a stable, ergonomic feel that makes it easier to achieve a level tamp every time.
