Rattleware Tamper

The 57mm size is specific to certain espresso machines, particularly those from brands like Ascaso or older Gaggia models. Before purchasing, check your portafilter basket's diameter to ensure a precise fit; using the wrong size will result in uneven extraction and channeling.

A flat base is the industry standard for achieving a level, uniform puck of coffee. It ensures even pressure across the entire surface of the grounds, which is essential for consistent extraction and preventing water from finding paths of least resistance.

Yes, the 3-inch rounded handle is designed with ergonomics in mind. Its shape fits naturally in the palm, allowing you to apply consistent downward pressure without straining your wrist during back-to-back shots.

This tamper weighs 20 ounces. The substantial weight is a benefit, as it provides a solid, tactile feel that helps you apply consistent pressure more easily than you could with a lightweight plastic alternative.

While the stainless steel construction is durable, we recommend hand washing this tamper with warm water and mild soap. Dishwashers can sometimes damage the finish or handle material over time, and hand washing is quick and simple.
