Metallurgica Motta Coffee Leveling Tool

This tool is specifically designed for 57mm portafilter baskets. Please verify your machine's basket size before purchasing, as it will not provide a proper fit for standard 58mm or smaller 54mm baskets.

By evenly distributing the coffee grounds before you tamp, this tool eliminates pockets of uneven density. This creates a uniform bed of coffee, which helps prevent channeling and leads to a more consistent, balanced extraction.

Yes, this is a distribution tool, not a tamper. Its primary job is to level the grounds; you should still follow up with a firm tamp to compress the coffee puck to the correct density for brewing.

This specific model is a fixed-depth tool. It is designed to sit flush against the rim of your portafilter basket, ensuring a consistent, level surface every time you use it.

Simply wipe the base with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove any residual coffee oils or grounds. Avoid soaking it in water or using abrasive scrubbers, as this will keep the stainless steel finish in top condition.
