Stainless Steel Coffee Tamper 58mm Barista Espresso Base Coffee Bean Press

I got this to use with my Saeco (Starbucks) espresso machine and am very satisfied. The quality is excellent -- better than I expected. It's solid, heavy and looks very nice. It's well worth the reasonable price. The 52/53 mm size is a perfect fit. Highly recommended. Read more

It's inexpensive, looks nice, and seems to be well constructed. It's heavy as well - a good tamper. It fits with a little wiggle into my nominally 58mm portafilter, so there are usually a couple grounds that are left on the walls that I have to give a quick second tamp to, but if I wanted that kind of precision I would have paid more for a precision tamper - this is all I need right now.

This tamper completes my "coffee bar"! It is handsome, heavy, well constructed, fully functional for tamping espresso into my machine's filter basket. I easily make a perfect flat white, every time, with the accuracy this tamper provides. Bonus: It's elegant enough to show off on my countertop!! Read more

This tamp is hand filling and easy to use. Works well with my espresso machine. Read more

Tamp is good quality. Sturdy and heavy. Wood handle is nicely formed, but has some imperfections (burrs) in the wood and the lacquer is not entirely smooth. Altogether satisfied for the price I paid- would recommend. Read more

I truly don't understand people and their reviews. It's a tamper. It's nominally 53mm. It's got a rounded wood handle that is comfortable in the hand - it is bottom-heavy (gosh, 🙄 it's supposed to be). What "balance" could you have on a tamper? Is it too big or too small for your hand? Does it give you splinters? Does it mysteriously turn green like a carnival diamond ring? These are relatively meaningful questions. It's a tamper, not a cardiac stent. It fits well in a Breville 54mm portafilter and OEM basket (if anyone asks). Honestly, I have no idea about "durability" but I assume, someone, somewhere could damage it. Look at the picture - it must tamp OK, it made a puck with 6month old pre-ground espresso coffee on the very first try. Buy one. If you don't like it, buy something else. Read more

This does the job. I like it. Tamping is great when you have the right tamping tool. This one is right for me. Read more

This tamper was surprisingly heavier than I had assumed. The handle is beautifully crafted, and comfortable to use. Great value. I purchased for a Mr.coffee espresso machine, I think the 50mm would have been a little better fit. I have a 1/16" gap all the way around when I put it in the filter cup. Still gets the job done, and it's a very nice piece. Read more
