51mm Tamper Tool Espresso V2 Rosewood Spring Loaded 30LB Calibrated Coffee Tamper Compatible With Delonghi, Casabrews, Smeg and more Espresso Machine Accessories

I’ve been using this 54mm KNODOS Espresso Tamper with my Breville machine for a few weeks now, and it’s safe to say this might be the last tamper I’ll ever need to buy.Build Quality:Right out of the box, the craftsmanship stands out. The rosewood handle is smooth and fits perfectly in hand, giving a premium feel without being flashy. The double spring loaded design feels sturdy and consistent, and nothing about this tool feels cheap or flimsy. It has a reassuring weight and the materials used scream quality.Precision & Consistency:The auto-leveling mechanism and calibrated 30lb pressure make a real difference in espresso consistency. Tamping is no longer a guessing game. Whether you're a beginner or someone who pulls shots daily, this tamper takes a lot of the variability out of the process.Design & Ease of Use:The V2 improvements are noticeable, especially in terms of smoother action and better weight distribution. It’s ergonomically friendly and easy on the wrist. The double spring system ensures even pressure every time, which is a blessing during back to back shots.Is It Worth the Price?Definitely not the cheapest tamper out there, but you get what you pay for and maybe more. If you value good coffee and equipment that lasts, this is a solid long term investment. For many home baristas, this could easily be a once in a lifetime buy.Final Thoughts:It’s rare to find a tool that looks this good, feels this solid, and performs this well consistently. KNODOS has nailed it with this one. Whether you're upgrading or buying your first quality tamper, you can’t go wrong here.

The media could not be loaded. This is truly a high quality tamper. Looks great and the wood is classy.It fits perfectly in the stock bambino plus basket. I tried it with other baskets as well like an IMS and it fits pretty well. Very easy to use out of the box and the default calibration is enough with no need to exchange it. Tamping is great and does its job well every time and flat every time. For the price this is probably one of the best tampers out there and would highly recommend it.Can be slightly difficult to clean because of the ridges at the bottom but not a big deal and can be done with a small brush in a couple of seconds.I had another tamper that was calibrated as well but had a very thick bottom part that made it difficult to tamp flat but this one is made just right to allow for perfect tamping every time. So if you have a similar problem this will work well for that.A small thing but I like the small keychain it comes with. Just a cherry on top.

I'm kinda floored by this thing. First impressions, it is heavy. Like 2 lbs heavy. The machining finish is beautiful all around. The wood is smooth and well finished and while it does display a logo, there are no weird Amazon brand names to be found. The logo is quite classy really.How this works:There are two springs in the unit. The first is a very light pressure spring that attaches to the collar. The collar is precision machined and matched to the shaft so that it slides up and down easily, but cannot wobble or move off perpendicular. When the collar engages the top of the portafilter, the light pressure spring compresses and the tamping plate travels straight down into the portafilter. There is second spring in the shaft, between the handle and the tamping plate that is weight calibrated. This spring is changeable. The tamper comes pre installed with a 25lb spring and there is a 20lb and 30lb spring in the box, a long with tools to change the spring. As you push down, the collar spring compresses until the tamping plate touches the coffee and then you feel more resistance as the calibrated spring kicks in. You simply press a little further to slightly compress the calibrated spring, and you're done. The trick here is to not bottom out the calibrated spring, or you will just be directly applying force to the puck.25lbs is a lot less force than you think when pressing down. I have no doubts that this tamper comes a going to provide me consistently in tamping for years to come and it goes be me peace of mind that I am able to eliminate another variable in my pursuit of the perfect shots.I can't recommend it enough. After holding this thing in my hands and using it, I would've been willing to pay a fair bit more to own it. The quality level is just not something that you see anymore these days.

Works great and easy to change out the weighted spring.

Heavy, well made tamper. Looks great. Even compaction. The flow is much better brewing.

I have a Breville Barista Touch Impress espresso machine, but felt I could do better for a grinder. I bought an external grinder which dumps into small cup which is put over the upside down portafilter, then inverted to dump the grounds into it.The grounds look like a small mountain and need to be leveled before I can use a tamper. I bought a funnel and distribution tool set to do that then realized I could use the Breville's built-in tamper, which has the perfect height, pressure, and a gentle twist as it is released.This set looks to be high quality, allows for adjustable height in the basket, and comes with 3 springs so that the proper tamp pressure can be set.One star was taken off because while it has so many adjustments, the instructions aren't clear at all and you need to watch online videos to figure it out. I think that could be fixed.

really good, works, looks and feels good, solid materials, good design. comes in a sealed box with instructions and replacements springs.

This tamper is a perfect match for my Delonghi. The rosewood handle is stunning and feels amazing in hand, while the spring-loaded mechanism ensures consistent pressure. It makes tamping effortless and precise. The premium packaging and build quality make this a fantastic upgrade to the default tamper. KNODOS is quickly becoming my go-to brand!
