Tampers

Customer ask, We answer

Tamper size depends on your portafilter basket. The most common sizes are 58 mm or 58.5 mm for commercial machines. Always measure your basket's inner diameter for a snug fit.

Yes. Heavier tampers often offer more control and reduce the effort needed to apply pressure evenly. It’s a personal preference, but many baristas prefer a tamper that feels substantial in hand.

Flat tampers apply pressure evenly across the surface. Convex tampers have a slightly curved base, which can help reduce channeling. Which is best depends on your technique and espresso machine.

Using a tamper mat or station protects your countertop and stabilizes your tamping process. It also helps keep your gear clean and organized.
