Don’t get this for Delonghi EC155
Really nice product, hefty and shiny.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit the filter baskets for the DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker. It’s too big.
Perfect tamper for Saeco Via Venezia, Starbucks Barista
I tried to measure the portafilter in my Saeco Via Venezia and landed on 53mm – turns out I was exactly correct.
This results in a perfect tamp nearly every time with the ideal area and weight. Up to you to get the pressure right of course, but the size is so perfect that there’s almost a pressurized air-tight seal you can feel as you tamp, which is ideal. It’s also beautifully made, seems to be machined out of a block of solid aluminum. It will, without a doubt, last several centuries without wearing down.
I got a second one for my father’s older Starbucks “Barista” machine. He’s modded it halfway to heaven with temperature gauges, pressure controls, and all sorts of crazy stuff, but was still using the wrong sized tamper – terry’s tamper with the 2 ends, neither of which fit the portafilter! I had a sneaking suspicion it was also 53mm, and sure enough it fits perfectly.
So, I have personally confirmed it works on:
- Saeco Via Venezia…
Perfect fit for Saeco Aroma
This fits the Saeco Aroma perfectly.
Its a nice piece, and performs very well. Comes in a little burlap sack for storage.
Bonus: using this with my pressurized portafilter results in a more solid espresso puck, which simplifies cleanup a little.
