Lelit Tamper

This tamper is specifically designed for the LELIT58 group head, which features a diameter of 58.55 mm. Please verify that your machine uses this specific group size before purchasing, as it will not fit standard 53mm or 54mm baskets.

The stainless steel base provides the necessary weight for consistent tamping and ensures the tool remains resistant to heat and corrosion. Unlike wood, stainless steel is non-porous, making it hygienic and easy to clean after contact with coffee oils.

To keep the maple wood in good condition, avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe the handle with a damp cloth and dry it immediately to preserve the natural finish of the wood.

A uniform tamp is essential for preventing channeling, where water finds the path of least resistance through the coffee puck. This tamper’s precise fit and ergonomic design help you achieve an even, level bed of coffee, which is critical for consistent, balanced extraction.

No, the functional performance remains identical across all Lelit tamper models. The choice between maple, walnut, or other wood finishes is purely aesthetic, allowing you to match the tamper to your machine's design or your personal kitchen decor.
