Saint Anthony Industries Levy Tamper

The Levy Precision Tamper is specifically engineered with a 58.3mm base. While it is designed for precision baskets, it may be too tight for standard 58mm baskets that are not manufactured to high-tolerance specifications.

The tamper features an adjustable mechanism that allows you to set a specific tamping depth. Once calibrated, it ensures that every puck is compressed to the exact same level, providing consistent resistance and extraction across every shot.

Yes, the handleless palm-tamp design encourages a neutral wrist position, which helps distribute pressure more evenly across your palm. This reduces strain on the wrist and forearm, making it a preferred choice for high-volume espresso preparation.

No, this tamper is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish of the premium wood handle and the integrity of the internal adjustment mechanism, we recommend wiping the stainless steel base with a damp cloth and cleaning the handle with a wood-safe conditioner.

The substantial weight provides natural stability and downward force, which helps you achieve a level, uniform puck with less physical effort. While the weight doesn't change the coffee chemistry itself, it significantly improves the consistency of your tamping technique.
