Espresso Tamping Station – 51/53/58mm, Knock Box & Tool Storage

At a Glance

Bring espresso preparation, tool storage and spent grounds together in one black station. The open front support holds a compatible portafilter, while dedicated recesses and screen slots keep your own tools within reach.

Choose the 51/53mm shared version or the 58mm version. Both have the same 26 × 18 cm / 10.24 × 7.09 in footprint; the tool recesses and front opening differ. Compare the measurements below with your portafilter and accessories before ordering.

Includes one station and one knock box with knock bar. Portafilters, tampers, distributors, brushes and puck screens are not included.

Three Key Features

• A dedicated place to prepare your puck. The open front support has a handle slot and adjustment screw. Check portafilter clearance and keep hold of the handle while distributing and tamping.
• Separate spaces for your tools. Two round recesses, two smaller openings and two narrow puck screen slots organize compatible accessories beside your machine.
• A knock box you can lift out. The rear box and horizontal knock bar collect spent espresso pucks. Remove the box to empty it and wipe away loose grounds.

How to Use

1. Place the station on a clean, dry, level counter and seat the knock box in its rear recess.
2. Rest a compatible portafilter in the front opening, with its handle through the slot. Check that the body, handle and any spouts clear the support.
3. Hold the portafilter while distributing and tamping the grounds, then lift it out to brew. Store compatible tools in the recesses and puck screens in the narrow slots.
4. After brewing, use the knock box to collect the spent puck. Empty it as needed and wipe loose grounds from the station.

Choose a basket-matched tool from Espresso Tampers; tampers are sold separately.
