ECM Tamper

This tamper is specifically designed for 58mm portafilters. If your machine uses a standard 58mm basket, it will be compatible, but we recommend checking your machine's manual or measuring your basket diameter before purchasing.

A convex base is designed to help distribute pressure more effectively across the coffee puck. This shape can help minimize channeling—where water finds the path of least resistance—resulting in a more balanced and even extraction.

Yes, the tamper features an ergonomic design intended to provide a secure, comfortable grip. Its substantial weight also helps you apply consistent pressure without needing to strain your wrist.

Stainless steel is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe the base with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove coffee residue, and occasionally wash it with warm, soapy water if needed. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.

The substantial feel of this stainless steel tamper is a benefit, as it provides natural resistance that helps you achieve a level tamp. You will find that you need to apply less downward force than with lighter, plastic alternatives to get a solid, compressed puck.
