    Heavy and well made. Tamps coffee with the right amount of pressure. Love the swirly pattern it leaves behind. The tamper that came with the espresso machine was a subpar plastic one. This is much more substantial.

    Color: WhiteSize: 58.5MMVerified Purchase

    I had this same tamper for my Breville Barista Express, so when I upgraded it seemed like no-brainer to get one for 58mm.

    In short, it's a great tamper. It's designed so that people, like me, can tamp properly. It works incredibly well because it's self leveling, and calibrated. So you kinda have to go out of your way to get an uneven tamp with inconsistent pressure. Which, again, for people like me is a blessing. The one criticism I have is that grinds do have a tendency to get stuck on the side of the tamping plate… which can make the calibrated handle feel a little hung up. Simply clean off the grinds on the side and it's good to go.

    Color: Deep BlackSize: 58.3MMVerified Purchase

    It's good but could be perfect. The pressure is good. I feel like it's the correct amount of push to compact the Puck.
    I have two (small) issues with it.
    First is that it's just a tiny bit smaller than it needs to. At least for my rocket – it could be a tiny tiny but wider. But that might be my set up.
    My second issue is there is a small pop after I'm done pressing down and ready to remove from the portafilter. So when I'm don't and compacted, there is like a mint jolt that can disturb the puck just a tiny bit.

    Am I being picky? Yes
    Would I buy again? Yes
    Does it feel like it's great quality? Yes.

    I wouldn't let my review detour anyone from buying. I just think it could be a tiny bit better making it perfect.

    this tool is awesome. got it Saturday morning and have pulled perfect shots since….I was struggling to get my shots dialed and didn't realize how inconsistent my tamping was until I got this tool. I have a Lucca La a53 machine with a 53mm porta filter and it works perfectly. It is worth every penny spent and then some as the taste and consistency is amazing

    Color: SilverSize: 53MMVerified Purchase

    As an avid coffee lover and home barista, I purchased the espresso tamper for my Breville machine. After using it for some time, here are my thoughts:

    The Goods:

    Perfectly level and uniform pucks: With the espresso tamper, I can achieve perfectly level and uniform coffee pucks every time, resulting in consistently good shots.
    Well-made and heavy: The tamper feels premium and well-made with its weight and sturdy construction, giving me confidence that it will last for a long time.
    Repeatable pressure: The lip around the tamper ensures that I apply the same amount of pressure every single time, which is crucial for consistent shots.
    The Bads:

    Pop-back feature not reliable: While the tamper has a pop-back feature, it only works a small percentage of the time, so I don't rely on it.
    Limited size options: It would be great if the tamper came in more size options, especially for those who have non-standard size filter baskets.
    No storage or carrying case: The tamper doesn't come with any storage or carrying case, which would have been helpful to keep it clean and protected when not in use.
    Overall, I would highly recommend the espresso tamper for anyone who takes their coffee seriously and wants to achieve consistently good shots. It is a great investment and an essential tool for any home barista.

    I ordered this to try and improve my coffee and try and get consistent tampering..

    The simply fact is, it easily jams on the push down which then means there is no spring compression and no consistency.
