Motta Mimetic Tamper

This tamper has a 58mm diameter base, which is the standard size for most commercial-style espresso machines. Please verify that your specific portafilter basket is designed for a 58mm tamper before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

The tamper features a durable, food-grade stainless steel base paired with a wooden handle. This combination provides both the necessary weight for effective tamping and a comfortable, natural grip.

The handle is ergonomically shaped to fit naturally in your palm, which helps reduce wrist strain during repeated use. This design allows you to apply consistent, even pressure more easily, which is crucial for a balanced espresso extraction.

Because the handle is made of wood, it should be cleaned with a damp cloth rather than submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher. The stainless steel base can be wiped clean after use to prevent coffee oil buildup.

This tamper is handcrafted in Italy. Motta is well-regarded for its traditional manufacturing techniques, ensuring high build quality and attention to detail.
