LUCCA Espresso Tamper

The 58.3mm sizing is intentional. It is designed to create a precision fit in standard 58mm baskets, minimizing the gap between the tamper and the basket wall to reduce side-channeling and ensure a more uniform coffee bed.

The tall base acts as a guide against the rim of your portafilter basket. This physical reference point helps you keep the tamper level, making it easier to achieve a consistent, even tamp without needing to eyeball the angle every time.

This tamper is available in 53mm and 58.3mm sizes. You should check your portafilter basket's diameter to ensure a proper fit, as 58mm is standard for most commercial-style machines, while 53mm is common for specific home machines like Breville.

No, the black anodized aluminum is chosen specifically for its durability and grip. It provides a tactile, secure hold that remains comfortable even when you are pulling multiple shots in a row.

The base of the LUCCA Espresso Tamper is completely flat. This is the industry standard for ensuring an even, parallel compression of the coffee puck across the entire basket.
