Tamper Kaffia button 58mm

An indispensable tool for every barista is a tamper or press (coffee frother). When making espresso, pressing the coffee in the lever is really important. Properly, the coffee should be pressed with a force of 20kg. If you don't know what that force looks like, just put a homemade scale on your kitchen table and lean into it with the tamper in your hand. You can easily see what a 20kg force looks like. If you squeeze the coffee with less force, the espresso will flow too quickly, and conversely, if you squeeze the coffee with more force, the espresso will flow too slowly.

We definitely recommend the metal, heavy duty tamper, they are very pleasant to work with. The Kaffia button tamper stands out for its heavier weight of 500g.

The handle of the Kaffia button tamper features an adjustable ring that presses on the top of the portafilter, limiting how deeply the tamper can be pressed. The tamper therefore offers an easy way to create consistent coffee buds. Adjusting the depth is quick and easy.

When buying a tamper, it is important to know what diameter the lever of your coffee machine is. This Kaffia tamper has a diameter of 58mm.
