A Solid Foundation
The classic tamper is a must-have for every home barista. When I (Hugo) worked in hospitality, I quickly learned that a good tamper makes life a whole lot easier.
If a tamper isn’t well-balanced or doesn’t fit properly, it’s easy to tamp unevenly—especially when you’re in a rush. Even at home, this leads to channeling, resulting in inconsistent, sometimes sour or bitter coffee.
That’s how our search for the perfect tamper began. Knowing how important this is, we designed these tampers to fit precisely—58mm for Quick Mill and 58.5mm for all other 58mm portafilters!
Now you can tamp consistently at home and enjoy delicious espresso every single time!
A True Barista Essential
We couldn’t find the perfect tamper, so we designed it ourselves!
We tested every tamper on the market and distilled the very best into Barista Essentials. Plus, we incorporated all of your feedback along the way:
- Premium stainless steel – an indestructible tamping base
- Total control with style – choose from a unique wooden, black, or stainless steel handle
- Perfect balance – nice weight for a smooth tamp
- Precision fit – down to the millimeter for an exact match
For the best tamping experience, pair it with our tamper mats or tamping stations.
