Normcore 58.5mm Coffee Tamper V4 - Spring-Loaded Tamper with 15lb / 25lb / 30lbs Replacement Springs - Anodized Aluminum Handle and Stand - Stainless Steel Flat Base,Black

I have a very nice, heavy tamper that I've used for 19 years. Recently I got intrigued with the idea of a spring loaded tamper because I never had any idea what force I was using manually. This particular tamper is costly but well worth it, in my opinion because of how it's made and because it also had 2 springs, as well as a total of 3 inner springs to determine tamp pressure. Beautiful, heavy, solid construction. The 25 lb spring that comes pre-installed works best for me and I don't see myself changing it. The design with the leveling plate makes it all quite easy to press down enough. Some reviews complained about the lack of an audible "click" but that isn't necessary. With the leveling plate on top of the filter basket, you just press down the entire distance that you can push and that's it so no click needed. What I've realized though all this is that I was never tamping hard enough with my manual tamper. In addition, when I would press it down hard the tamp would not be even, and one side would usually end up higher than the other, and this led to channeling. It's important to properly prepare the puck. I measure bean weight and grind into the portafilter basket. I use a funnel collar and and WDT tool to distribute the grinds well and break up clumps. I then use a distribution tool, which smooths everything out before the final tamp. Then comes the tamping which I can now do with a consistent, level pressure. I have my grind fineness pretty dialed in at this point and haven't needed to change that up much. Since implementing the puck prep described above, every single time my coffee has turned out perfect. Before doing things this way and without my new tools (i.e. previously using only finger smoothing and tamping with a manual tamper) I had a lot of misses and wasn't usually happy with the espresso I got. I'll say it again....the quality of your shots depends on good, consistent prep of the puck. This tamper is a very necessary part of that prep, I now realize. I recommend this particular tamper very highly. Last comment: You can get the same tamper with a circular ridged bottom. I can't see there would be much advantage to that, and the ridged bottom would definitely catch coffee in the ridged areas, making cleanup a bit more annoying. With this smooth tamper, all it requires is a quick wipe on the bottom (usually nothing there anyway) and then there is a nice little matching cup to set the tamper in.

Should of bought this sooner! Makes an even tamp Everytime. Fits my breville and also doesn't leave room on the sides like another one I bought. Also much better than the standard breville tamper and has multiple weighted springs for use

This made all of my tamps consistent. The fact that it makes sure your tamps level and at the same pressure is fantastic. It allows you to dial your grind and amount into the perfect setting, knowing that your tamp is no longer a variable.

Use it every day, multiple times a day. Love it for my Breville portafilter.

Really like this tamp due to it keeping the puck super level and the tamp spring variability. Only downside side is that coffee can get trapped between the top of the tamp disc and the bottom of the leveling platform, but it’s super easy to clean!

Bought this for my breville bambino and just word to the wise. The breville bambino portafilter is tapered and this will NOT fit the stock portafilter basket (not even the double shot one). I just so happened to buy a naked bottom portafilter at the same time so I use that instead. Make sure your basket is not tapered at all. I like that it comes with extra springs in case they wear out, so that’s nice. The whole thing does feel nice a sturdy in my hand, nice and heavy. It has a metal cap you’re supposed to store it in, but I wish that was rubber instead. Also I think that it maybe could tamp a liiiiitle bit “deeper”. I’m worried that if I use a deeper basket or if I just use less coffee (I currently do 18g in, 40 out), it may not be able to tamp all the way. But you’re not technically supposed to do that with espresso baskets anyway but just a thought in case you always brew single shots (like 9g).

Amazing tamper for Breville Bambino. Way better than the original plastic one. 100% compatible with original portafilter.

I have been loving normcore products and I needed to add this tamper! I love this spring loaded tamper! It has made tamping so much easier and more even! Great weight to it, easy to use, durable and sturdy! Amazing addition to your coffee ritual!

Es el tamper de 57 MM que tu cafetera LELIT necesita, no hay muchas más opciones en 57mm, y esta es la mejor, no tienes que pensar, siempre haces la misma fuerza, la pastilla sale perfectamente equilibrada, eliminando todos los errores humanos del barista casero.

I am new to the world of "proper" espresso and wanted to look for an auto tamper to remove variables from my workflow Very easy to use and consistant results - which has helped increase the consistancy of my shots.
