A calibrated spring ensures identical tamping, even between different people.
Our tests found that the grounds are fully compressed at 15lbs. More pressure is not needed.
Many people press harder than they need to, and thus increase muscle and joint strain, as well as the risk of repetitive stress injury.
Tampers that don't fit snugly in a coffee basket leave an untamped ring of grounds, which promotes side channeling and bad tasting espresso.
If any component breaks, send us a photo and we will send you a replacement for free.
Each tamper is made on a computer controlled lathe, not a mold, and the base is accurate to 0.05mm. Our large, rounded handle feels great in the hand.
Using our tamper with our paired basket means that sideways tamps are literally impossible.
Our tampers have a 58.35mm base, because that will eliminate the untamped ring that a less close-fitting tamper produces. We do not recommend 58.5mm tampers. Such a close fit can suck the puck up as you lift the tamper.
