This is a 58mm spring-loaded tamper that clicks at a set 30 pounds of pressure, sold on its own or paired with a matching 58mm distributor. The calibrated spring takes grip strength out of the equation, so a light-handed and a heavy-handed barista press the same. The wider base and self-adjusting height suit baskets that take different dose volumes. Against plain tampers it trades feel for repeatability; against pricier calibrated tampers it offers the same core function without extra finish work.

This is a fourth-generation calibrated espresso tamper. It delivers 30 pounds of tamping pressure regardless of grip strength, so each shot is tamped with the same force. The consistent pressure helps prevent channeling and keeps extraction consistent.
The tamping base is wider for more coverage and better compression of the grounds. A height adjustment mechanism regulates itself to suit different dose volumes. A triangulated stability design keeps the tamp level.
The tamper has a modular construction. It comes apart for thorough cleaning and maintenance. The Tamper + Distributor option includes both the tamper and the distributor.
