Tampers

• All tamper handles are made of highly polished aluminium, designed for maximum comfort, durability and perfect tamping of your coffee.

• Bases are available in polished, food grade Aluminium or Stainless Steel, and come in 58mm and 53mm widths. Most have a curved base, although there is a flat base also available in the 58mm aluminium style.

• The two part design allows easy cleaning combined with maximum functionality

 
How to choose the tamper combination that's ideal for you:

• Handle size and shape? – really a decision based on hand size and visual appeal: smaller hands = short handles, larger hands = long handles, some prefer the round design for easier grip, its really your choice.

• Base size? – measure the inside diameter of your filter basket, then select the base size that is slightly smaller than this. Approximate conversions are 53mm = 2.09 inches, 58mm = 2.28 inches

• Aluminium or stainless steel base? – some prefer the stainless base due to the heavier weight, but The Coffee Stain’s aluminium bases have been designed to provide the required weight for perfect tamping. The decision is based on visual appeal and personal preference.

• Flat or curved base? – depends on your preference – some say the flat base creates a more even dispersion of water through the coffee, some prefer the curved base because they feel it helps prevent channeling due to a more even spread of grounds around the edge of the basket.
