Great sturdy tamper when you measure your filter properly
I ordered this tamper about 3 months ago. It arrived in a little protective cloth baggie and is about as close to a work of art as a tamper can come. The matte finish on it is flawless. There are no seams as the piece is milled from a solid chunk of aluminum. Its durable, hefty, and just feels great in your hand. If apple made tampers this is what they would design.
But I didn’t review it right away because I measured my filter wrong and couldn’t use it. This tamper is 55-mm almost exactly. The manufacturer clearly wasn’t at fault here. I just didn’t give any buffer room when I measured my portafilter. If the filter you plan on using this with measures any less than 57mm I would look at a different model. Try as you might, you just won’t be able to fit a 55 millimeter tamper in a 55 millimeter internal diameter filter basket and if you do manage it you wont be able to get it back out.
With that said, I didn’t send it back when it didn’t fit. I figured that I was…
Nice feel, weight and finish
This tamper is simple and classy. Weighty with a nice matte finish. Good feel in the hand, a pleasure to use.
Solid!
This tamper is solid! The finish is perfect and it has a good weight to it, allowing proper tamping. It feels solid and durable, and coffee barely sticks to it. It has helped me attain a more consistent espresso.
