58mm Coffee Tamper Espresso Press with Tamper Mat Tamper with 304 Stainless Steel Base Wooden Handle Barista Espresso Machines Accessory (58mm)

Very functional and Looks really nice on my coffee bar. Love the natural wood handle.

After spending a fortune on a new espresso machine and grinder upgrade, I decided to go easier on the wallet for the tamper. I looked at artisanal ones from $40 to $60 but could not pull the trigger. Gave this one a shot at 1/3 price and I’m very happy. Quality wood and grain. Heavy in the right way. Properly sized. Great value.

So this is perhaps another one of those implusive buy. First of all, a hunk of metal just for flatten the grind? Even if it has a specific term, tempering, but really it's for the coffee nut people. I mean I saw an article regarding an volcanologist came up with in his opinion, using the mathematics reserved for calculating the volcanic eruptions, making a perfect cup of joe with the wetted coffee grind. So yeah, about making espresso, this chunk of stainless steel is ergonomic and looks could be a modern art. An exact fit for a 54mm espresso grind holder. My warning to the first time users, watch out for how much you're packing. I.E. the more you press down, the less water will come out, the wet grind will also expand, and likely to clog up the machine. It is dangerous to obstruct the outlets of a gadget that is spewing hot steam and liquid. The standard amout of grind to use is 5 to 6 grams for an espresso shot. It took a few trys before I get a hang of tempering the espresso grind. It is good way to make an espress with the caffeine strength that's comparable to the coffee house.

Is used with every espresso I make: nice and heavy-ish, well made, just right.

We liked everything about this tamper, it came in great shape, the wood was beautiful,, and it had a like size mat. However the tamper was just a little too big. I had tried to measure it without a millimeter measuring tape, and got it wrong. So I had to return it, but I forgot to include the tamper mat when returning it! I don’t know how to let the seller know other than through here. I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to keep that, how can I make it right?

Nice weight and finish. Not sure what else to review. It’s a hunk of metal screwed to a bit of wood. Does the job.

Nice and heavy. I like the little silicone holder it comes with

Its a really good price for a very decent product. I like the wood handle & the size fits the filter basket perfectly. Really helps complete the espresso machine setup. The little place mat is another great addition to this product.
