Il tamper al primo impatto risulta molto robusto e di ottima fattura, il manico in legno bombato da un tocco di eleganza e favorisce la presa e la pressatura in modo eccellente. La differenza nell’estrazione del caffÃ¨ Ã¨ abissale rispetto ai pressini comuni. Se siete amanti del CaffÃ¨ non potete non averlo.

This tamper has great weight and feel. It feels comfortable in hand and fits snugly into the portafilter. Great value tamper if youâre not looking for something reliable and sturdy.Leaves a smooth finish after tamping and itâs easy to clean. Iâve been using regularly for the last year and it still looks like new

almost perfect…
This is a beautiful and high quality tamper. However, in a 58mm basket, it does leave about .5mm of space inside the basket, meaning you need to center it to make sure you get the best tamping possible. Even then, it’s impossible for this tamper to 100% compress the entire puck evenly because there’s a bit of space. I honestly don’t know for sure how much it will effect your extraction, but on my machine, which is a lever, I could tell the difference between this tamper, and a 58.5mm tamper. Lever machines force more water down the sides of the basket initially, and this is where this Motta tamper is most likely to apply less force to the puck – potentially creating more opportunity for channeling.In practice, I have still prepared and extracted some good espresso using this tamper. But I have been a bit inconsistent, and I attribute it to the tamper. Considering that I have improved consistency just by swapping tampers, I like to draw this conclusion, but the evidence is potentially all anecdotal.If you have your heart set on a Motta and want this tamper, you’ll probably be happy with it. If you’re a bit of a perfectionist, you may want to look into a 58.3 – 58.5mm tamper. Keep in mind, that my 58.5 is fits so tightly that it sometimes sucks the puck out of the basket a bit, also causing a big problem. I think a 58.4 would have been a perfect compromise for me.

Light, slick design & great looking tamper
It’s a great tamper that was designed to fit the average palm and I think it looks good too. It is not a heavy piece so I think one can gauge more accurately the pressure one puts onto the coffee by the hand pressure. Because of its design, since the wooden handle “rests” inside the palm, it makes it easier to use the index finger and thumb to create the pressure rather than press hardly on the handle which is the wrong way to press the coffee. I have another heavy one and it’s more difficult to asses because it’s easier just to crush the coffee grinds by using it. However, if you are used to rap the tamper on the side of the porta filter to dislodge some coffee stuck to the inside, this would not be the one to do it with. First I’d feel bad to ding it or cause marks on it, but it is more because it is light, so you may want to use the wooden handle to do it.

High quality tamper
Incredibly well crafted, base has a nice heft to it and the handle is fairly light — and this is a good thing as this makes the handle simply guide the base instead of controlling it, meaning it is easier to get an even tamp even if you are a little bit off axis.Fits my Profitec 500 portafilter almost perfectly. Think that my basket (standard double) requires 58.5mm so there is a little bit of grinds left on the inside walls, but I just run my finger along the edge to get them off and it works fine.Overall great tamper, feels high quality and that is the best part. It is a joy to use

Exceptional!
New to the espresso machine game. Bought this based on reviews. We’re opening a cafe and we needed something to get started. We had inherited two other tampers with some equipment.. and honestly, I can’t even use them. They’re more steal and boxy in shape… this one is beyond comfortable and just feels great. I’m a newbie, so my opinion might be lame… but for what it’s worth, this is a fantastic item and quite glad this is what we use. Very well constructed and feels great with repeated uses.

Beautiful woodgrain, fits my Francis Francis X1 perfectly.
Upgrade for the home coffee station. Super value with a price comparable to a basic tamper if you’re lucky enough to get it through warehouse deals.

El tamper es precioso, la calidad es buena, teniendo en cuenta hasta dÃ³nde puedo juzgar dado que es mi primera adquisiciÃ³n. SÃ³lo echo de menos que hubiese podido elegir el largo del mango teniendo como referencia otro objeto o una foto asiÃ©ndolo en una mano. En todo caso, me he hecho con Ã©l rÃ¡pidamente y es un gustazo, simplemente tenerlo en la mano, y claro estÃ¡ cumple perfectamente su funciÃ³n: La mejora respecto del tamper de plÃ¡stico que me vino con la gaggia classic es sustancial!, y no sÃ³lo en sensaciones.El prensado ha dejado de ser un problema, que lo era y mucho antes de tenerlo. Merece la pena
