{"title":"Tampers","description":"\u003cp\u003eTamper size has to match your basket, not the other way around. Most Breville and Sage machines run a 54mm basket, De'Longhi sits at 51mm, and commercial-style or E61 setups run 58mm. Get the size wrong and the tamper either rocks in the basket or won't seat flat, and either way the puck tilts before you've started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth tampers here are spring-loaded, so the puck sees the same pressure shot to shot instead of whatever your arm delivers that morning. One has a flat base, one's rippled. The honest answer is neither fixes bad distribution on its own. Pair either with a tamping station so it's not sitting loose on the bench between shots.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"calibrated-espresso-tamper-walnut","title":"Calibrated Tamper, Walnut \u0026 Steel, 51\/53\/58mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA calibrated tamper puts a spring in the collar between the handle and the base. Press down, and the spring gives at the same point each time, so the puck sees the same pressure on every shot. A numbered ring lets you set that pressure and repeat it shot to shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is walnut. The base that meets the coffee is mirror-polished SUS304 stainless steel, with a matte aluminium body in between.
