Level and repeatable tamping is important for consistently great espresso. This is why you will love the K Bean Smart Tamper.

These are not off-the-shelf 58mm tampers found online. I had 300 units made just for me, with a 58.5mm base.

A 58.5 mm base will distribute ground coffee right to the edge of any 58mm E61 group basket which prevents dreaded edge channelling.

Design highlights include:

• Ergonomic - perfect curves

• Sprung piston mechanism for a flat and repeatable tamp.

• Satisfying - silky smooth mechanism and a solid feel make this tamper a joy to use

• High quality - aluminium handle and stainless steel base

• Precise - flat 58.5 mm base - for a piston fit

  • Bases are milled to 58.5mm to fit any basket for portafilters labelled as 58mm. This is because baskets in 58mm portafilters actually measure closer to 58.5mm
