Normcore 58.5mm Palm Tamper, Espresso Coffee Tamper Built-In 30lb Spring with Stainless Steel Flat Base, Barista Coffee Hand Leveler Tamper Compatible with 58mm Portafilter

I have carpal tunnel syndrome and this palm tamper is leagues better than any standard tamper. It has a solid weight to it, the tamper surface is well machined, and the spring pressure is very consistent. It fits in my 58mm IMS basket. At the price normcore offers this, it is definitely the best value spring loaded tamper you can get.

Fits my Gemilai portafilter perfectly. Works as expected, but can be slightly unlevel in tamping. Has a tendency to push the coffee down more on the handle side of the basket. I try to make sure I apply pressure in the middle of the tamper and it seems to make all the difference.

This tamper is very easy to use and has a perfect weight thanks to the stainless steel build. It evenly tamps the espresso puck, and the 53.3mm fit works flawlessly with my Breville Espresso machine. The puck prep I’m able to achieve has noticeably improved the taste of my espresso. The sleek design is modern, durable, and looks great on my coffee bar.

automatic tamper broke in the middle of a summer holiday weekend. this was PERFECT and efficient

I work in espresso professionally and got this as a tester for ergonomic purposes. It does its job as a tamper and does level with little dusting from it being 58.5mm. The self leveling does work. However depending on my baskets (using vst now) it will.self level where the lowest part of the puck is handle side and highest.part opposite. Not an issue with the tamp but something to be mindful of. Works perfectly well on my gaggia setup...not so much commercial grade. The spring is adequate but i tend to tamp a bit harder on heavy weather days.. Build quality is fine but i would have rather used a regular style tamper. Also palm tampers pretty much need to be self leveling based on the ergonomic nature.

Normcore usually has great products. While this feels well built, after one or two uses, paint started chipping off and into my grounds. Dangerous, and I would expect a lot more for for this price and this brand.

Fits my breville perfectly. Helps smooth and even out my coffee after grinding. The coffee does stick a little on the size crevices which can get a little messy but I use an old makeup brush to dust it off into my sink.

Works exactly as described. Can be a bit heavy but otherwise it is a premium built product. If you have too much coffee in your basket and they're near the rim of it, coffee can get stuck to the sides of the distributor. A little annoying but easily remedied by brushing the grounds back into the basket or by "flattening" the coffee grounds in the basket first prior to distributing.

Had this for a while now, really like Normcore products as they are well built and reasonably priced. I prefer the V wedge shape here vs the fan shape, I feel the V wedge is better for distributing coffee as the V basically does not compress much coffee when you put it on the portafilter, as it has limited surface area. I feel the fan shaped tools compress too much of the coffee. Great tool, well built and well priced. Highly recommended.

Gran herramienta ya sea para una barra de café o para los Baristas en casa ya que funciona muy bien y reduce el rango de error al momento de compactar el café.

Nice & Good Quality~!

The tamper feels solid and easy to operate, it's a bit harder than normal tampers but the levelling edge helps a lot, I wish they made one in wood though, overall satisfied
