Normcore 58.5mm Coffee Tamper V4.1 with Click Sound Feedback, Espresso Barista Hand Tamper, Spring Loaded Tamper With Flat Base, Anodized Aluminum Handle, Compatible with 58mm Espresso Machine, Silver

Do you need this? Absolutely not. Could you get a cheaper one that does exactly this. Yes. It’s easy to use, gives the satisfying click, fits in the portafilter and does a great job leveling my distributed ground beans. It has a sick look, and for the price it’s worth it to me but I’ll be honest, function isn’t so different from the cheap one I got from a friend, and I really should have saved the money, but at the end of the day I like it.

works good ! the coffee pack is always leveled ! 51 mm basket , very comfortable for me - have a large hand. it came with a spring replacement , tho no idea how and what to replace if needed - the instructions should be better. so i would give it 4.5 ( because of instructions are not awesome at all ! )

For my La Pavoni Millineum Professional the best filter baskets I’ve found so far are the IMS B602TH25 (15-17 grams) and B602TH29E (18-20 grams) Precision Filter Baskets. Out of 4 different tampers, this is the only tamper that fits the baskets so closely that there is no coffee whatsoever on the sides of the baskets after tamping. The tamper base is designed similarly to the base of my Pullman Big Step Tamper. If KuGuo comes out with a 51.5mm tamper base for The Force Tamper I will probably get one of those bases for my existing The Force Tamper too... maybe...probably... but just because I love that tamper, not because I think it would be possible for it to do a better job than this tamper :-).

works way better than my original tamper; fits snugly on the Flair pro 3.

This 49.7mm Normcore tamper fits the Introvert 58 to 49mm basket perfectly, which was the main reason I purchased it. The sizing is spot on and produces a clean, even tamp with no wobble or edge gaps. That said, while the product description mentions click style feedback, mine does not provide any noticeable click or tactile feedback at all. Functionally it still works well as a tamper, but if you are specifically buying this for the click mechanism, that may be disappointing. I've had the V4.0 for my 58mm machine and it works exactly the same so if that one is cheaper or on sale, I would grab it. Overall build quality feels solid and the tamper does its job in terms of fit and consistency. Just be aware that the advertised click feedback may not actually be present.

Just got into Espressos with a Gaggia E24 and this is a perfect Tamper for a 58mm Portafilter. I changed the spring to reduce the tamping strength and it was easy to do so. Excellent build quality.

Great weight and feel and the tactile click when tamping has helped me dial things in for my puck prep. Cleans up easy and is an integral part of my espresso process. Highly recommended.

It works as advertised. It keeps the coffee puck level and gives a clear "click" when the torque number is reached, and no more. The installed spring is correct for my needs.

Not good,

Alta calidad y precision. Muy bueno

Calidad y comodidad.

I don’t know why I didn’t get something like this sooner. This tamper is brilliant and consistent so there is no disparity between tamp strengths. And with the extremely reasonable price, I highly recommend it

Costoso ma davvero ben fatto. A differenza della versione 4 il “click” non è fondamentale ma sicuramente è un feedback gradito. In generale un ottimo prodotto che migliora il workflow rendendo più veloce.
