This is not just any tamper
The Presso Barista has been our most loved tamper since day one, and It is a perfect example of smart Espresso Gear engineering. Balance at work The Barista tamper is made for professional use. When you work at home making 5 shots per day, a solid, heavy tool is just fine... When serving 300 shots during a shift, its not as comfortable wielding an unbalanced solid metal piece.
When others choose aluminium we did as we always do, think different ;) The Presso Barista is the only die cast, hollow base stainless steel tamper on the market. It is perfectly balanced and has a comfortable weight of about 250 grams. Low energy tamping Tampers in general are lathe machined from 60 mm to maybe 20 mm. This wastes a lot of material and consumes far to much energy. A neat thing that comes with the casting of the tamper is that it saves a huge amount of resources with virtualy no loss in material. The stainless steel in all our products is on top of this 100% recycled which means that we save 80% in energy resources right from the start.
