Cafelat Espresso Tamper

You should check your espresso machine's manual or measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket. It is essential to choose a tamper size that fits snugly within the basket to ensure an even, level puck.

A flat base provides a uniform surface across the entire coffee puck, which is the standard for most home setups. A convex base is slightly rounded, which some baristas prefer to help prevent channeling at the edges of the basket.

No, this tamper must be hand-washed to preserve the finish of the aluminium handle and the integrity of the stainless steel base. Avoid soaking it in water to prevent any potential oxidation or damage to the materials.

At approximately 410g, this tamper has a substantial, balanced feel that helps you apply consistent pressure without needing to exert excessive force. The weight is designed to provide stability during the tamping process, leading to a more level coffee bed.

The seat provides a dedicated, stable spot to rest your tamper when it is not in use. It protects both your countertop and the stainless steel base of the tamper from scratches or accidental damage.
