Coffee Tamper 58mm Espresso Tamper Coffee Distributor Espresso Distributor Coffee Distributor Leveler Coffee Distributor & Tamper Stainless Coffee Tamper (MKL-BLACK-58mm)

Really spent some time researching (thanks to James Hoffman and Whole Latte Love) on how to get better and more repeatable espresso. I use a 51mm pressurised and non-pressurised basket with my DeLonghi machine, and to be honest, between the tamper and the leveler end, I very much prefer the leveler!Just fill your basket to the top as you normally would, then use the leveler to press it in gently and give it a spin - literally! For me it just flows easily and after a full spin or two, you have a beautifully flat surface, beautifully compacted, creating a very good and well extracted puck at the end (obviously your mileage may vary depending on the grind and your own machine, so give it a few practice runs first).The weight is perfect for me, coming in at around 506g, and it came in a nice box with a small mat for the gadget (as seen in the photos)

This distributor / tamper is of fairly high quality. It is of all metal construction and heavy weight to aid tamping. It allows you to control the amount of tamping by adjusting the metal collar. After tightening it stays in place allowing reproducible results.In order to use it, place the required amount of coffee in your portafilter. Dependent on your coffee grinder you may need to break clumps manually before using this (search for WDT—Weiss Distribution Technique). Then level off slightly and place the distributor on top. Dependent on your machine / grind settings you will need to adjust the “amount” of tamping with the screw collar. Then turn round slowly, potentially *lightly* pressing, until you are flat with the collar on your portafilter. To “polish” the top, now spin the distributor quickly. Remove, insert into your machine and make your espresso!

I am new to brewing coffee and this is my first tamper. It is a wonderful piece of equipment. Been using it for 2 months and has a real quality feel to it. Fantastic piece of kit and would recommend. I am not planning on moving to anything else in the foreseeable future. Just make sure you order the correct size for your portafilter.

The tamper is made from 4 massive metal parts and weighs 466 grams, so it feels heavy and solid in the hand. It's precisely 51.0 mm in diameter. It can disassemble fully in it's 4 parts, so I guess that will make it easy for cleaning. Both the tamper and distributor sides have threaded depth control, which is great.I am still waiitng for my unpressurized basket to arrive, so haven't put the tamper to the test, but I am sure it will perform great.Overall I am impressed by the manifacturing quality and I recommend this tamper/distributor ;)

Tamper is perfect for 51mm portafilter(compatible with Breville One Touch) It's heavy and distributor is do the job nicely. I am very happy with this purchase.

Easy to use nice pressure on the grind looking very professional in the kitchen

I had been looking for a tamper for a while time but after a couple purchases I got disappointed as it was hard to apply the dame pressure and achieve the same result every time. This one is a game changer and I can now get the perfect latte every single time.The quality is amazing, it is heavy and sturdy and it has a great finish. And you can screw it to get the desired pressure.

Brilliant coffee tamper, very high quality with a perfect finish. Both the highly polished stainless steel smoother and the tamp side are height adjustable and lock in place with the black anodised alloy rings. This tamp is absolutely solid and feels really good in the hand. Couldn't recommend this enough!
