Will it fit my 58 mm portafilter basket?

At 58.35 mm it is sized for standard 58 mm baskets and sits close to the wall. Check your basket's exact inner diameter, since some baskets run slightly wider.

What does the ripple base do?

The ridges leave a patterned surface on the puck and reduce the suction that makes flat tampers lift the coffee. It also helps spread grounds as you press.

Is it a calibrated tamper?

No. It has no spring or click mechanism, so you control pressure by feel.

How should I care for the wood handle?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it right away. Do not soak it or put it in a dishwasher, which can crack the wood.

Does it come in other sizes?

Other sizes are offered in the line, but this version is the 58.35 mm one. Match the size to your basket before buying.

Our take on the CARTMAN 58.35mm Espresso Tamper with Wood Handle and Ripple Base

The CARTMAN Espresso Tamper is a 58.35 mm tamper with a wood handle and a rippled base. The ripple pattern helps coffee grounds settle evenly and reduces the suction that makes a flat tamper stick to the puck. It suits home baristas with 58 mm baskets who want a comfortable wooden grip. It is a simple, well-made tool rather than a precision or calibrated tamper, so it competes on feel and finish, not on depth control.
