53mm Coffee Distributor & Tamper, Dual Head Coffee Leveler Fits for 54mm Breville Portafilter, Adjustable Depth- Professional Espresso Hand Tampers

A Must Have for Coffee Lovers
 I stumbled upon the 53mm Coffee Distributor & Tamper on Amazon a few months back, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer for my morning routine! As a coffee enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for tools to up my coffee game, and this one definitely delivers.It’s super easy to use. The 53mm size fits my portafilter perfectly, and the distributor evenly spreads the coffee grounds, ensuring a consistent extraction every time. And the tamper it’s like the cherry on top gives that perfect amount of pressure to create a smooth, even surface.The build quality is top-notch too. Despite using it daily, it still feels sturdy and looks as good as new. Plus, cleaning is a breezeHonestly, I can’t imagine making espresso without it now. If you’re serious about your coffee, do yourself a favor and grab one of these. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Let me show you how to prep your espresso
 Too many bad video reviews. Let me show you.Any product for espresso should a) reduce variables in your workflow b) make you happyBy reducing variables, it has the effect of making your espresso workflow faster while also improving control over your espresso. For example, this tool reduces error on tamping too deep or too shallow, as well as variability of the ole twist-and-tamp method for distribution.Simply use the clover side and turn clockwise, spin spin spin, just have fun with it. Flip this device over, and press your palm to tamp with the flat side of this device pressing into the coffee.To calibrate the depth of this device, tamp normally with your normal tamper. Then, take this device at max length, and gently (don’t press) rest it on the tamped espresso. You’ll notice how much extra steel is showing, and calibrate this device shorter and shorter until it fits to your tamp depth (there is no extra steel showing).Congrats, you’ve now calibrated your device to your previously manual tamp depth. Over time you can increase or decrease your tamp from this new baseline you’ve established. Again, it’s all about limiting variables. This device is second only to a funnel.I highly recommend a funnel to keep messes out (and to keep my 18g of beans in). The funnel seems silly, until you realize you’re wasting 1g of beans all over your workspace and that it’s adding variability to your grind size calibration given all other variables are the same for your chosen beans (finer grind size = more pressure).Use fresh roasted beans (1-3 weeks old), if you can, and don’t change beans too often unless you’re willing to recalibrate your grind size. Given you’ve listened and your ONLY variable is your beans, it’s easy and quick to change between different beans, but you may have to sacrifice one shot while you adjust the grind (your pressure gauge should be at ~12 o’clock, or if you don’t have one shoot for 20-25 seconds of steady trickle).Reduce your variables, and enjoy!

Must have for beginners!
I have a Breville barista and was having a hard time hitting the right pressure for the espresso range specifically for the double. This tool has changed all of that because it helps me evenly distribute and even out all of that coffee before it’s tamped. I also really like the palm tamp because it’s so much easier to get even pressure. The only thing I wish I knew is what height to set them up. I just guessed and it’s been working fine for me. It’s heavy duty. A really great tool. Definitely worth it if you are new to espresso and trying to master the craft. It’s giving me a lot more consistency with my espressos. I can finally make them for my friends because I know they are going to turn out. Now, I still can’t steam milk to save my life and every latte I make somehow turns into a cappuccino, but I digress. 😂😂

 As you see from the video, it does a great job at leveling, bwcause I can’t get quite a strong tamp (it’s at its max setting), I follow up with a second tamp from my breville tamper (came with machine). It does give me consistent results from a level puck, finally getting the hang of getting a proper shot (25-35 secs)! It’s heavy and sturdy. Fits my Breville 54mm portafilter.Update: I’ve since adjusted my dose (18g), so now able to use the tamp consistently.

With this tamper you set and forget and get the perfect pressure each time. Brilliant design and made of quality materials.

I am relatively new to espresso machines. It is well recognized how important proper and consistent tamping is. I did purchase a calibrated tamper a while back which really improved for my espresso making. However, on reviewing multiple articles online I noticed how many professionals talked about the importance of distribution. This device markedly improved distribution and decreases the amount of mess on my counter. As well, providing you are dispensing the same amount of coffee into the filter (I do recommend using a scale) once this device is calibrated and set there is no air, whatsoever on the amount of tamping that is accomplished by pressing on this device. This has resulted in a marked improvement in the consistency of my tamping and the taste of my espresso beverages! I mentioned it seems a bit expensive but the workmanship and materials are high grade and once the device is adjusted it is easily locked in place and there is no risk of the setting changing unless you want to make another adjustment. This one device handles excellent distribution and consistent tamping pressure. Definitely the best accessory I’ve purchased since I got my espresso machine. There are no instructions included in the package but there are lots of videos on YouTube if you do a search for the device. Would highly recommend purchasing this product – I’ve spent more money on less useful things!
