Lastaforest Coffee Tamper

The tamper features an automatic compression system that consistently delivers 30 pounds of force. You will hear an audible click when the mechanism reaches this pressure, confirming the tamp is complete.

Yes, the integrated balance pad is designed to keep the tamper perfectly level at a 90-degree angle during compression. This helps eliminate the common issue of tilting, ensuring an even puck density for better extraction.

The spiral pattern on the stainless steel base is engineered to increase the surface area of the coffee bed. This design promotes better water distribution and contact during the brewing process, which can lead to a more consistent extraction rate.

You should select the size that matches the inner diameter of your specific portafilter basket. We offer 51mm, 54mm, and 58mm options to accommodate most standard home and professional espresso machines.

The handle is crafted from premium North American walnut, which is a dense and durable hardwood. With standard care—avoiding prolonged submersion in water—it will maintain its tactile quality and appearance over years of daily use.
