2-in-1 aluminium leveler press

Looking for a way to achieve a more even extraction and eliminate uneven tamping in the portafilter? The 2-in-1 aluminium distributor and tamper Rocket Espresso Milano (code 1385140) combines two tools in one: on one side a distributor (leveler) with a 58 mm base that levels the surface of the ground coffee, on the other side a 58 mm tamper for even tamping. The 64 mm diameter body comes in a light-grey finish, and both sides are height-adjustable.

Important — check your portafilter size: this tool has a 58 mm base and is designed for portafilters with a 58 mm internal basket diameter, typically for the E61 group. Before ordering, check the basket diameter of your portafilter (usually stated on the portafilter itself or in the machine's manual) to ensure both the distributor and tamper fit precisely. This part is not suitable for other sizes (e.g. 53 mm or 54 mm).

When to reach for this tool? (Typical situations)

This 2-in-1 tool addresses the following situations when preparing espresso:

• Coffee flows unevenly, channeling occurs, and the taste is sometimes sour, sometimes bitter
• You tamp at an angle, the puck isn't level, and extraction varies every time
• The surface of the ground coffee in the portafilter is uneven and needs leveling before tamping
• You want to standardise your preparation routine and achieve a repeatable, consistent result cup after cup

Compatibility: which machines is this part for?

This distributor and tamper is designed for lever espresso machines with a 58 mm portafilter, primarily with the E61 group. Below is a breakdown based on what this tool typically requires.

Portafilters with a 58 mm base

• Portafilters with a 58 mm internal basket diameter
• Both bottomless and classic 58 mm portafilters

Machines with the E61 group

• Lever espresso machines equipped with an E61 brew group and a 58 mm portafilter

Compatibility note: an exact list of compatible machine models was not provided for this product, so we only state dimensional and structural suitability (58 mm, E61 group). The internal diameter of your portafilter basket is always decisive — if it is 58 mm, the tool fits regardless of the machine brand.
