Normcore Spring Loaded Tamper V5

The tamper features an adjustable internal mechanism that allows you to select between 10.5kg and 15.5kg of force. You can easily switch between these six settings to find the specific pressure that best suits your coffee roast and grind size.

The Titanium PVD coating provides a significantly harder, more durable surface than standard stainless steel. It resists scratching and corrosion while offering a smoother finish that helps prevent coffee grounds from sticking to the tamper base.

The V5 utilizes a dual sensory feedback system. When you reach your set pressure, the tamper provides both an audible 'click' and a distinct tactile sensation, ensuring you apply the exact same force every single time.

Yes, the V5 features a modular design that allows you to swap out the base. You can purchase compatible Normcore tamper bases separately to match the specific basket diameter of your new machine.

The 58.5mm base is specifically designed for precision-engineered baskets, such as those from VST or IMS, to ensure a snug fit that minimizes side-channeling. If you are using a standard stock portafilter basket, a 58mm base is typically the safer choice to avoid binding.

By using a calibrated spring, the tamper ensures that the coffee bed is compressed perfectly level every time, regardless of your hand angle. This eliminates the common issue of uneven tamping, which is a primary cause of channeling and inconsistent espresso shots.
