Rocket Espresso Tamper

This tamper has a 58mm diameter, which is the industry standard for many commercial and prosumer machines. However, you should confirm your specific portafilter basket size, as some machines require a slightly different diameter for a precision fit.

Yes, the substantial weight of this solid stainless steel tamper helps you apply consistent pressure with less effort. It provides the necessary force to compress the coffee grounds evenly, which is key to preventing channeling and achieving a balanced extraction.

This tamper features a flat base, which is the preferred design for most modern espresso baskets. A flat base ensures uniform compression across the entire puck, reducing the risk of uneven water flow.

Simply wipe the base with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove any coffee residue. If it needs a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the polished finish.

At 95.25mm, this tamper is designed to be ergonomic and easy to grip. The height allows you to maintain a level wrist position while tamping, which helps ensure your coffee bed is perfectly horizontal every time.
