Calibrated Tamper 58 mm

Description

A tamper you can lean on without guessing. The spring inside the handle releases at 30 lb — you press until it clicks, and every dose after that lands the same whoever is standing at the machine.

• Base: 58.5 mm stainless steel, flat, machined to sit square in the basket
• Calibration: 30 lb click, set at the factory and adjustable with the key in the box
• Handle: black anodised aluminium, 62 mm across the palm
• Weight: 480 g, which is most of the work done for you

It’s the tool we hand to anyone learning on the machine, because it takes one variable out of the shot and gives it back only when they ask for it. The base unscrews for cleaning, and the click gets quieter as the spring beds in — that is the spring settling, not going soft. Wipe it dry rather than leaving it on a wet bench.
