KNODOS Tamper Kit

This kit is specifically designed for E61 group head machines and uses a standard 58mm size. Please verify that your machine utilizes an E61 group head before purchasing, as this is critical for a proper fit.

A 30 lb calibration ensures you apply consistent pressure every time you tamp, which is essential for repeatable extraction. It removes the guesswork from your workflow, helping you achieve a level, uniform puck without needing to develop a specific 'tamping feel' manually.

The maple wood accents are not dishwasher safe and should be wiped down with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, as this can cause the wood to warp or lose its finish over time.

The ripple base is designed to create concentric grooves in the coffee bed. These grooves can help improve water dispersion and reduce the likelihood of channeling, leading to a more even extraction across the entire puck.

Yes, the distributor is fully adjustable. You can set the depth to match your specific dose and basket size, ensuring you create a perfectly flat coffee bed before tamping.

Yes, a bottomless portafilter is less forgiving than a spouted one. It will expose any inconsistencies in your puck preparation—such as channeling or uneven tamping—by spraying coffee if the shot isn't dialed in correctly, making it an excellent tool for refining your barista skills.
