Tamper manual dynamometrical 57 mm

What is a tamper and what is it for

A tamper is a tool used to manually press ground coffee into the portafilter basket before espresso extraction. Even and sufficiently firm compression of the coffee puck is the foundation of correct, balanced extraction – without it, water flows through the coffee unevenly and the taste of the drink becomes inconsistent.

Signs of wear

You can recognise an old or damaged tamper by cracks, a peeling surface, a loose handle, or an uneven base that can no longer create a flat surface on the coffee puck. This typically results in channelling, uneven extraction, sour or bitter-tasting espresso, and sometimes water leaking around the sides of the basket.

Why you shouldn't put off the replacement

A damaged tamper cannot guarantee even pressure on the coffee, which directly affects the quality and consistency of the espresso's taste. Replacing it with a new one is a simple way to restore consistent brewing results without having to intervene in the coffee machine itself.

How to choose the right tamper

• Check the product table to see which base diameter matches your basket and portafilter.
• Choose a handle that feels comfortable in your hand and allows for stable, comfortable pressing.
