Saint Anthony Industries Model S & Model T Espresso Tamp

The difference is strictly ergonomic. The Model S features a flat top handle, which some baristas prefer for a specific grip style, while the Model T has a rounded top handle designed to fit more naturally into the palm of your hand.

Yes. Both models feature a screw-on mechanism that allows you to easily remove and replace the 304 stainless steel base, making it simple to swap out or upgrade your tamper without buying a completely new handle.

You should select the size that matches your specific espresso machine's portafilter basket. The 58.3mm is the standard for most commercial-style machines, while the 53.3mm is typically required for specific home machines like Breville or Gaggia models.

Because these tampers are handcrafted from natural hardwood, each piece will have unique grain patterns and color tones. You can expect your tamper to be one-of-a-kind, though it will match the selected wood type.

The base features an ultra-precise, sharp edge designed to minimize the gap between the tamper and the basket wall. This helps ensure a more even puck density and reduces the likelihood of channeling during your shot.
