The Decent TamperOur innovative, perfectly fitting espresso tamper.
Standard Tamper Base (V2)
Self-leveling (v2)
Our standard base has a 58.40mm base and a rounded bottom edge for easy insertion and removal of the tamper. The rounded edge is more robust, and will last longer in environments where things get dropped on the ground.
Grooved Tamper Base (V1)
1mm vertical grooves are hand-ground into this base, and allow pressure to escape as you lift the tamper. This prevents suction from disrupting your puck. The grooves require you to keep your base clean with an occasional wipe of a cloth. A slightly different tamping technique is required. You should lift the tamper gently off the puck, to allow pressure to be released.
Our grooved base has a 58.50mm base and a sharp bottom edge to prevent coffee grounds from creeping up the side walls. Because our baskets are made with an internal diameter of 58.70mm, the match between tamper base and basket allows only a tiny 0.2mm gap. Other manufacturers' precision baskets (VST, La Marzocco, Synesso) are also made to this size and work equally well with our grooved tamper base. The sharp edge of this tamper is more easily damaged if you drop the tamper on the floor.
In exchange for this extra care, you will be rewarded with an extremely precise tamp giving higher extraction levels, an even grounds bed, and no side channeling.
