Metallurgica Motta Mimetic Coffee Tamper

This tamper features a 58mm diameter base, which is the industry standard for most commercial-style espresso machines. We recommend checking your specific portafilter basket size to ensure a snug fit, as even a millimeter difference can affect your extraction.

The Metallurgica Motta Mimetic features a perfectly flat base. This design is ideal for achieving an even, level puck, which helps prevent channeling and ensures consistent water flow through your coffee grounds.

No, this tamper is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish and the integrity of the handle, we recommend cleaning it by hand with a soft cloth and mild detergent, then drying it thoroughly.

The handle is specifically shaped to fit comfortably in your palm, which helps reduce wrist and hand strain if you are pulling multiple shots in a row. Its design allows you to apply consistent, downward pressure more naturally than with a standard, straight-sided tamper.

This specific grade of stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it an excellent choice for a tool that comes into contact with moisture daily. It provides a durable, food-safe surface that will maintain its precision and smooth finish over years of use.
