Makes your life easier, much better to use than a plastic one

Good product

Really good tamper. Box it came it was a little roughed up when we received it hence knocking off 1 star as it was probably an old product.

Good product but does not fit with EC9 machine

I bought a Delonghi Espresso machine so of course had to go all out with the accessories. This is actually a really nice item to use. Good weight to it and is actually a worthwhile investment in my books. But that could just be the coffee snob in me speaking. If you're really into your espresso maker, it's a nice tool to have. The feel to it is superb.

Bon tasseur, robuste et efficace. Parfois un peu de café reste collé, mais rien de gênant.

Having just spent four precious hours of my life steeped in the sordid world of professional barista-level coffee tampers, researching and analysing all aspects thereof in tedious depth and detail, I am seriously beginning to regret the day I chanced upon Mr James Hoffman’s ruinously excellent channel on the Tube of You. Until recently, I have managed to live my life blissfully free of the need for a precision-machined stainless steel tamper with seasoned olive wood top. The simple though admittedly ugly plastic tamper supplied with my DeLonghi has been making a perfectly acceptable job of compressing ground coffee into a compact disk since 2009. But since making the dreadful mistake of watching one of Hoffman’s manipulative mind-game videos extolling the virtues of these devices, and the meaningless of life without one, I became a man obsessed. My every waking hour was consumed by covetous thoughts about them. Worse, I have been suffering nights more disturbed than usual, with what scant sleep I enjoy interrupted by vivid dreams in which Hoffman himself is chasing me through a coffee plantation in the small hours, his Espro Calibrated Convex Base tamper glinting in the moonlighty night, berating me for my tamperless life and threatening to haunt me for evermore, causing me to wake violently in a cold sweat. Obviously, this unhealthy state of affairs could not continue, so as I am sure you have guessed already, I have capitulated and one of these now reposes seductively next to my espresso machine as I type these very words. Apart from the bizarre blue colour other's have bemoaned, it is, I think, a most excellently made instrument, and since it arrived I have used every opportunity to caress the curves of its smooth wood handle and feel the heft of its precision engineered stainless steel body while marvelling at the mirror finish of its perfectly flat base, and launch myself into a tamping frenzy!

The tamper has a solid weight and an ergonomic wooden handle that feels great in the hand. It gives a consistent, even tamp every time. A perfect upgrade for any manual espresso machine.
