A tamper as a solid Foundation
A tamper is a basic tool no home barista can do without. When I (Hugo) worked in cafés, I quickly learned that a good tamper can make or break your espresso.
If a tamper is not well balanced or does not fit into your filter basket properly, tamping unevenly or with the wrong pressure becomes much easier than it should be.
Thus began our search for the ideal tamper, as we experienced for ourselves what a difference a cleverly designed tamper makes in for your puck prep and the taste of your espresso.
The result is this classic tamper you’re looking at now: with ergonomic handle (available in 3 types) and solid stainless steel tamping surface.
A True Barista Essential
After a long development process, we present to you this classic tamper, reduced to the Barista-Essentials. No unnecessary bells and whistles, just a well thought out tool you can rely on and won’t need to replace anytime soon.
Note the following features:
- Solid stainless steel tamping surface (and handle option)
- 3 handle types for every coffee set-up
- Variable weight (stainless steel handle: 750g, wooden handle: 390g)
- Flat top tamping surface helps you gauge your tamp
- Precise sizing for the perfect fit in your portafilter
When tamping, our tamper mats or tamping stations provide the a stable foundation. This also helps you tamp more evenly and consistently
