Coffee Tampers
Coffee Tampers are a tool that is used to evenly pack (or tamp) espresso grounds into the basket (or portafilter) of an espresso machine. Offered in various common diameters and base shapes. The diameter coffee tamper needed will depend on the basket that is for that machine. If you do not know the size of your basket, you can measure it with a caliper. You will want to size down from there. These tampers are compatible with Reg Barber handles.
Our Coffee Tampers are made here in Honesdale PA USA of solid stainless steel. Each tamper is supplied with a 3/8″-16 set-screw. The flat on top is 1-1/4″ turn to diameter. So you will want to use the 1-1/4″ bushing with the UM mandrel for turning.
Our Coffee Tampers are offered in 4 base shapes; Flat, Flat Ripple, American Curve, and Euro Curve. Flat is a smooth straight finish. Flat Ripple is flat but with a ripple effect machined into the base. This helps the water channel through the coffee grinds more evenly. American Curve is a convex base that protrudes about 1/16″ of an inch. Euro Curve is a convex base that protrudes about 1/8″ of an inch.
For quick identification each Coffee Tamper is laser engraved. The engraving will show the diameter and base shape of that tamper. Example: a 58mm with a Euro Curve will read ⌀58-EC. Below this it will state Made in U.S.A.
