How do I choose between a 51mm, 53mm and 58mm impact tamper?

Check your basket manufacturer's recommended tamper diameter or measure the basket's inside diameter where the tamper sits. Allow the base to move freely without binding. A machine's advertised portafilter size is not a guarantee of compatibility.

Is the 53mm impact tamper available in silver?

No. The 51mm, 53mm and 58mm options are available in black only.

Does the 58mm ripple-base tamper have a flat underside?

The underside has concentric circular grooves. It is a ripple base rather than a smooth flat base.

Is the tamping force adjustable?

The tamper uses a preset 30 lb / approximately 13.6 kgf tamping force. Adjustable pressure is not specified.

Overview

This manual impact espresso tamper combines a leveling collar, conical grip and ripple base for the tamping stage of puck preparation. Its stated force is preset at 13.6 kgf; select the base diameter that suits your basket rather than relying on machine size alone.

Key Features

Preset Manual Force: The impact mechanism has a stated 13.6 kgf force setting and returns after release, giving your puck-prep routine a defined manual tamping action.
Collar-Guided Ripple Base: Rest the leveling collar squarely on the basket rim and press the conical grip vertically. The SUS304 base has concentric grooves beneath the collar.
Size Options: Black is available in 51, 53 and 58 mm. Check your basket against the tamping base, rather than the collar.

Steady your workspace with an espresso tamping mat.

How to Use

Pick a tamper that fits your basket. Dose and distribute your coffee, and rest the portafilter on a suitable tamping surface.
Set the base over the grounds and seat the leveling collar squarely on the basket rim.
Grip the conical handle and press straight down. Keep the portafilter supported the whole time.
Release the handle and lift the tamper away. Wipe the base clean after each use and dry it before storing.

FAQ

Which impact tamper size do I need: 51mm, 53mm or 58mm?

The one your basket calls for. Check the basket maker's recommended tamper diameter, or measure the basket's inside diameter where the tamper sits, and make sure the base moves freely without binding. A machine's advertised portafilter size does not guarantee fit.

Is the 58mm ripple-base tamper flat on the bottom?

No. The underside has concentric circular grooves, making it a ripple base rather than a smooth flat one.

Can I adjust the tamping force?

No adjustment is specified. The tamper uses a preset 13.6 kgf tamping force.
