Product Details

A 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.

The handle is walnut. The base that meets the coffee is mirror-polished SUS304 stainless steel, with a matte aluminium body in between. The spring also self-levels, keeping the base flat as you press, which reduces the tilt that starts channelling at the edge of the puck.

Pick a flat base for a smooth face or a grooved base for a textured one. Both come in three basket diameters.

How do I care for my tools?

Rinse stainless and aluminium parts after use and dry before storing. Hand-dry wooden handles rather than leaving them wet.

We recommend rinsing by hand, it takes seconds and keeps wooden handles and finishes in shape.

Yes, puck-prep tools are the upgrade most home baristas don't think to buy for themselves.

Not so good as he presses from one side only or the other side, but it needs to press on the center it needs to be consistent no to press from one side, even though i press from the center still presses from one side or the other and it’s improvement, that looks fine. i love it but the functionality it’s not the best.

It has a nice weight and a good design.
I successfully purchased the 51mm.

Since it's a spring, the depth of the compression can be adjusted by turning it.

Dear seller. The package could be better. The package box and blisterfoil could be better for safe shipping. The outer edge of the tamper had a slight dent, probably because of the transport. But nothing to worry about.

The tamper itself is nice, works well. The taming depth can be adjusted by screwing.
The black outer ring of the tamper has an edge, that is a bit too "sharp" for my taste, could be rounder.
But for the price this is quite a enjoyable tool and works well.

Functions as shown. The wood part is slightly misaligned but overall good. It does provide a level tamp.
