Improve your espresso with a quality coffee tamper
Achieving great quality espresso relies on even compression and packing of the coffee into the portafilter. Having a good quality coffee tamper can provide a huge improvement in the quality of your espresso by allowing you to achieve an even and consistent compression of the coffee. Espresso Gear Barista is a top quality tamper which is beautiful to use, gives great results, and looks great.

The right fit for perfect espresso
Espresso gear offer a range of coffee tamper sizes from 58mm to 49mm to fit most makes and models of espresso machines. Your coffee tamper needs to be slightly smaller than the internal diameter of your coffee filter basket to prevent it binding against the basket, but large enough to cover the whole surface of the ground coffee for an even compression.

Smart Swedish design from the team at Espresso Gear
Espresso Gear Luce 49mm is not just any coffee tamper, the Presso Luce is a perfect example of smart engineering from the team at Espresso Gear. Designed in Sweden the Presso Luce tamper is made for professional use.  When serving 300 shots during a shift, its not comfortable wielding an unbalanced solid metal tamper. Luce tamper is specially designed for the professional barista with an optimal weight (not to heavy, not too light) to allow precise control over coffee tamping while also being perfectly balanced. When other cheap mass produced tampers choose aluminium to reduce weight, Espresso Gear though outside the box, using die cast production to produce a hollow stainless steel base. The Presso Barista is the only die cast, hollow base stainless steel tamper on the market. It is perfectly balanced and has a comfortable weight of about 160 grams. A neat thing that comes with the casting of the tamper is that it saves a huge amount of resources with virtualy no loss in material. The stainless steel in all Espresso Gear products is 100% recycled.
