La Pavoni Tamper

The 51mm version is specifically designed for La Pavoni lever espresso machines manufactured after 2000. The 58mm version is a universal size compatible with any espresso machine that utilizes a standard 58mm portafilter.

The tamper is designed so that when you have dosed the correct amount of coffee into your portafilter, the top of the tamper will sit flush with the rim of the basket. This provides a visual cue to ensure you are using a consistent dose for every shot.

Yes, by creating a perfectly flat and tightly packed coffee bed, this tamper helps prevent micro-channelling. This ensures that water flows evenly through the grounds, leading to a more balanced and consistent extraction.

Because it is crafted from a single piece of stainless steel, there are no crevices or joints where coffee grounds can get trapped. You can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to keep it clean.

The single-mould design eliminates weak points found in multi-piece tampers, providing superior durability and a solid, balanced weight in your hand. This construction ensures the tool will not loosen or break over time with frequent use.
