Rhinowares Self-Levelling Tamp

This tamper is designed specifically for 58mm portafilters. If your machine uses a standard 58mm basket, it will be compatible, but we recommend double-checking your specific portafilter size before purchasing.

The tamper features a base lip that rests on the rim of your portafilter basket. This acts as a guide, ensuring the tamper stays perfectly level and parallel to the coffee bed as you apply pressure, which prevents lopsided tamping.

The spring-loaded mechanism provides consistent pressure, but you still need to apply enough force to compress the coffee grounds fully. Its primary benefit is consistency—it ensures you apply the same amount of pressure every single time, rather than reducing the physical effort required.

The Rhinowares Self-Levelling Tamp features a flat base. This is the industry standard for most modern espresso baskets, as it helps create a uniform density across the entire coffee puck.

Yes, it has a solid, substantial feel. The combination of stainless steel and durable plastic provides enough weight to help you achieve a firm, even tamp without needing to exert excessive force.
