Engineered for Consistency and Flavor

With its built-in dual spring system, this tamper ensures that each press delivers exactly 30 pounds of vertical force—the sweet spot for optimal extraction. The result? A compact, even coffee puck that resists channeling and supports rich, balanced flavor profiles cup after cup. This is the tamper trusted by baristas who know that the difference between good and great espresso is in the details.
