Precision starts with the perfect tamp.
The Lelit 58.55mm Espresso Tamper combines a beautifully crafted maple wood handle with a precision-machined stainless steel base for consistent, even tamping. Designed specifically for modern 58mm precision baskets, its 58.55mm diameter maximizes puck coverage to help improve extraction consistency and reduce channeling.
