Choosing The Right Size Tamper
WHEN CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE TAMPER THE RULE OF THUMB IS TO MEASURE THE INNER DISTANCE OF YOUR PORTA FILTER, THEN SUBTRACT 1 MM IN DIAMETER.
How To Use Your Tamper
Measure the Perfect amount of ground coffee and place in your porta filter, ¼ ounce for a single, and ½ ounce for a double. Tap the sides of your porta filter to evenly distribute the coffee or use a coffee leveling tool to provide a flat bed to tamp on.Place your porta filter on a flat surface with tamping mat or tamping standPlace your tamper evenly in your porta filter. This step is extremely important, an uneven tamp means an uneven extraction.Press down evenly with your tamper at approximately 30 pounds of pressure. To feel what 30 pounds feels like, take your tamper and press down on bathroom scale or kitchen scale until you reach 30 pounds. The amount of pressure is not as important as pressing evenly with the tamper.If desired you may polish the tamp by lightly spinning the tamper – a matter of style, not a necessity!Wipe away any grinds that have fallen on the portafilter and basket rim.Your are now ready to place your tamper into your machine and brew the perfect shot of espresso!!
Precautions
To make sure you get the best results, you should always make sure your tamper is clean. To do that, give it a swift brush after each use or wash it under warm water. NEVER PLACE YOUR TAMPER IN THE DISHWASHER!!

Solid Tamper
I’ve used this since I started pulling shots and not sure I’d be comfortable using a different one. Get really consistent and well packed shots with this. It feels nice with the wood, just heavy enough and cleans easily. Really sharp looking and feeling tamper.

Great Tamper
I bought this for my husband and he loves it. It’s nicely balanced, has a good heft, and frankly just looks attractive.

This tamper is listed at “Motta Professional”. However, it’s a little light in the Lavazza, to be called professional. The handle and the base combined are a little too light weighted to be considered professional. This tamper should be a few ounces heavier. The metal base is about a quarter of an inch thinner than the base of my previous tamper and the difference in weight is obvious.The Tamper is only okay, and I would not purchase again. The only reason I am not sending it back is because the handle is interchangeable with my existing base which together adds enough weight to create an acceptable tamp.

Convex is the way to go
I have had a La Cimbali M29 Select Machine for 14 years now. And though I have fine tuned the art of what I though was the perfect Latte – it wasn’t until I started using this Tamper that I realized I was all along missing the basket being properly packed. I recently got a great flat Tamper that improved the pack – but the Convex Tamper made a big difference!!Very happy with the product.

Not a full 58mm
Beautifully made, but not a full 58mm. Thereâs enough of a gap in my Expobar to make this unusable.

Il pressino è molto bello esteticamente e ben massiccio, da 58mm e con la base leggermente convessa (non ho trovato grandi differenze rispetto uno piatto). Il peso però, a parer mio, è un po’ leggerino, ma comunque funziona alla perfezione.

Liegt sehr gut in der Hand und ist schön schwer. Der rote Griff passt auch toll zu meiner Kaffeemaschine! Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

KLasse Verarbeitung in ansprechender Verpackung, klasse auch die leicht konvexe Oberfläche des Stempels. Dadurch: Keine Adhäsion bei ganz glatten Oberflächen und bessere Stabilität des Puks.
Circolo –
Spedizione precisa e prodotto ben fatto,curato e solido.Giusto il peso e le dimensioni per filtri da Macchina da Bar Espresso.
Radiotester –
Guter Holzgriff. Der leicht gewölbte Boden erzeugt eine leicht ausgehöhlte Oberfläche. Der Kaffeekuchen im Siebträger reiÃt jetzt nicht mehr beim Durchpressen ein. Es macht einfach nur Spaà damit.
