IKAPE Espresso Tamper

This kit is designed specifically for 53.3mm portafilters. It is essential to verify your machine's basket size, as it will not provide a proper fit for standard 58mm commercial machines or smaller 51mm entry-level models.

The magnetic base secures the funnel to your portafilter, preventing it from shifting while you grind or distribute coffee. This ensures your grounds stay inside the basket rather than spilling onto your counter.

The puck screen sits on top of the tamped coffee bed to help disperse water evenly across the grounds. It also keeps your group head cleaner by preventing coffee particles from sticking to the shower screen.

Yes, the distributor is designed to be adjusted to your preferred depth. This allows you to level the coffee bed consistently regardless of the specific dose you are using for your shot.

The silicone mat provides a non-slip, heat-resistant surface for your portafilter during the tamping process. It protects your countertop from scratches and provides the stability needed to achieve a perfectly level tamp.

While the stainless steel components are durable, we recommend hand washing all items in the kit to preserve the finish and integrity of the materials. The silicone mat and cleaning towel should also be cleaned manually.
