Metallurgica Motta Coffee Tamper

This tamper is specifically designed for portafilters with a 53mm basket diameter. Before purchasing, please verify your machine's basket size, as using the wrong size will result in uneven extraction and channeling.

A flat base is the industry standard for achieving a level, uniform puck. It provides consistent surface contact across the coffee grounds, which is essential for preventing channeling and ensuring an even extraction.

The handle is not dishwasher safe. To keep the wood in good condition, wipe it clean with a damp cloth after use and avoid soaking it in water, which can cause the wood to swell or crack over time.

The 18/10 stainless steel (AISI 304) is a high-grade, food-safe alloy that is resistant to corrosion and rust. It provides a dense, durable surface that is easy to keep sanitary and won't impart any metallic taste to your coffee.

Yes, the handle is ergonomically shaped to fit naturally in the palm, reducing wrist strain during repetitive tamping. Its design balances weight and grip, making it suitable for both home baristas and busy cafe environments.
