Excellent Tool I Now Know I Needed!
I have a very nice, heavy tamper that I’ve used for 19 years. Recently I got intrigued with the idea of a spring loaded tamper because I never had any idea what force I was using manually. This particular tamper is costly but well worth it, in my opinion because of how it’s made and because it also had 2 springs, as well as a total of 3 inner springs to determine tamp pressure. Beautiful, heavy, solid construction. The 25 lb spring that comes pre-installed works best for me and I don’t see myself changing it. The design with the leveling plate makes it all quite easy to press down enough. Some reviews complained about the lack of an audible “click” but that isn’t necessary. With the leveling plate on top of the filter basket, you just press down the entire distance that you can push and that’s it so no click needed.What I’ve realized though all this is that I was never tamping hard enough with my manual tamper. In addition, when I would press it down hard the tamp would not be even, and one side would usually end up higher than the other, and this led to channeling.It’s important to properly prepare the puck. I measure bean weight and grind into the portafilter basket. I use a funnel collar and and WDT tool to distribute the grinds well and break up clumps. I then use a distribution tool, which smooths everything out before the final tamp. Then comes the tamping which I can now do with a consistent, level pressure. I have my grind fineness pretty dialed in at this point and haven’t needed to change that up much. Since implementing the puck prep described above, every single time my coffee has turned out perfect. Before doing things this way and without my new tools (i.e. previously using only finger smoothing and tamping with a manual tamper) I had a lot of misses and wasn’t usually happy with the espresso I got. I’ll say it again….the quality of your shots depends on good, consistent prep of the puck. This tamper is a very necessary part of that prep, I now realize. I recommend this particular tamper very highly.Last comment: You can get the same tamper with a circular ridged bottom. I can’t see there would be much advantage to that, and the ridged bottom would definitely catch coffee in the ridged areas, making cleanup a bit more annoying. With this smooth tamper, all it requires is a quick wipe on the bottom (usually nothing there anyway) and then there is a nice little matching cup to set the tamper in.

Works well on Gaggia classic E24
The Normcore 58.5mm Coffee Tamper V4 is a game-changer, especially when paired with the Gaggia Pro E24. Its precision size fits perfectly with the slightly larger portafilter, ensuring even tamping without any gaps. Iâve been using it along with a WDT tool, and the combination has significantly improved my espresso shots. The tamper feels solid, well-built, and easy to handle, making the whole process smooth and consistent. Honestly you donât even need espresso station if you have this.

Amazing, love it, can’t recommend it enough
I was skeptical if it was worth buying a premium tamper. Though after only using it for a short time, I wish I would have bought one sooner. The auto leveling collar combined with the specific pressure Springs creates a perfect Tamp every time.It’s Hefty, well-made, and has tight tolerances. If you notice the rim of my portafilter has very little coffee grinds on it. This is due to how tightly manufactured this product is. If you use a cheaper Tamp, you will likely see some grinds pile up around the edges of your portafilter.It sits nicely in its stand due to it being waited more heavily on the bottom. You can replace the internal Springs to allow for different pressures. This replacement is really simple to do though the instructions may be difficult to follow for some.

Great Tamper
I have been very happy with this tamper. It was one of the only self leveling tampers available and came at a price that was half of what some self leveling tampers are going for. The diameter of the tamper fits perfectly in the 58mm portafilter that came with my Breville Dual Boiler. The self leveling feature has produced a very consistent and level espresso puck. The fit and finish of the tamper is very nicely done, and even comes with a base to catch any grounds that might be stuck to the bottom of the tamper. Would have given 5 stars if it came with better instructions. The tamper comes with 2 additional springs, but the instructions don’t do a good job of explaining which spring has what tension, when you would use a different spring tension, or how to clearly change the spring inside the tamper. Fortunately, I have been happy with the tamping pressure of the default spring, so this has not yet been an issue for me.

Me permite comprimir el café de una manera perfecta, se ajusta muy bien a las canastas de ni breville bambino

recently purchased a Breville Bambino and i must say that the included tamper while it did work was severely lacking. The included tamper on the larger and more expensive Express and others is definitely better but this Normcore is a quality piece that puts them to shame. I wanted this model and i did waffle over some cheaper knockoffs but in the end I spent more and bought this V4. So glad i did. I just didnât trust the build quality of cheaper tools and Iâve been disappointed before and said nope gonna get the tool I wanted. So glad i did. The tool itself works perfectly right out if box. The included tamper had quite a bit of room around the outside leaving crumbly bits around the edges. The V4 fit my 54 IMS basket perfectly and gave a easy clean tamp. You can see in my photos how much cleaner the V4 is and very little residual espresso grounds left. Didnât want to spend the $$ but this was a worthwhile tool that should last a long time. If you have a substandard tamper this is a good solid choice.

Expensive tool but the quality is great!

This tamper feels very premium. Has a lovely weight to it and is consistent when using. It feels easy to get a decent tamp every time. It also fits very snuggly so you don’t get a ring of non tamped grounds around the outside. Would very much recommend.
