Vaneli’s Solid Stainless Steel Tamper 53mm–2.09 inches (2 1/8″)

Its better than a Reg Barber Tamper, and it fits my Starbucks Barista’s 53mm Portofilter perfectly.

This tamper fits my Starbucks Barista’s 53mm portofilter perfectly. Pretty much like it was machined specifically for my portofilter/basket. This tamper is heavier than my friend’s Reg Barber (shockingly heavy actually), and in my opinion has nicer workmanship. For the price this HAS to be the best tamper on the market.

Great heft!

This is a long awaited tamp for my espresso machine!! After working in the coffee industry I have missed having a great tamp for my at home use. Most stores have now moved to an entirely automated process and I have to say my preference is for the port-a-filter by far on my little “Barista” machine from Starbucks. (which has held up with everyday use since 2003!) But searching for the best scoop and the best tamp have been challenging to say the least. In the end this is the type of tamp I have loved working with in the coffee business when they did use a similar machine. It has a great balance, heft in your hand (great self defense if it came down to it in the kitchen), and a perfect fit (do measure the inside of your port-a-filter if you want to order one, nothing would be more frustrating than it not fitting your particular machine, try to get as close a measurement on the diameter of the inside of the screen so you get the perfect tamp, don’t assume that all espresso machines are…

a brand new heavy

solid, no BS design…nice heft; does the work for you. doubles as brass knuckles if you have a kitchen intruder. ( ;
