Manual coffee tamper - Coffee machine compatibility - Rocket Espresso Giotto Cronometro

A manual tamper is a barista's essential tool. Evenly tamped coffee offers water the same resistance across the whole surface, which is a prerequisite for balanced espresso extraction. We offer tampers from coffee machine manufacturers and specialist brands, with a flat stainless steel base and handles made of olive wood, oak, ash or rosewood.

Choose the base diameter according to your coffee machine's basket. Most models in our range have a diameter of around 58 mm; for La Pavoni lever machines, a smaller 51.2 mm tamper is available. The handle should sit well in the palm, and some models have adjustable height.

If you want to tamp with the same force every time, take a look at adjustable coffee tampers. In a business serving a large number of drinks, automatic coffee tampers save work. The whole range is summarised in the coffee tampers category.
