La Mellow Espresso Coffee Tamper 515358mm Coffee Tamper for Espresso Machines (51mm Stainless Steel with Aluminum Handle) with Tamper Mat

This tool is used for tamping, which is the process of compacting the powder in the basket. Tamping brings the density of the basket closer to a consistent level, allowing for proper extraction. The base is made of stainless steel and the handle is made of aluminum, allowing for stable tamping. The stainless steel base has a hairline finish, making it less noticeable and less likely to get dirty. Includes a tamper mat.
