Normcore58.5mm Espresso Coffee Tamper V4, Spring Loaded Tamper With Titanium PVD Coating Flat Base -15lb / 25lb / 30lbs Replacement Springs, Genuine American Walnut Handle

There are countless of tampers available on Amazon so finding the right one without breaking the bank and will also make you appreciate what a quality tamper feels and look is a tall task. Luckily, Normcore has been making a lot of quality products for espresso lovers and their 58.5mm Espresso Tamper v4 is one of their best. That extra 0.5mm matters since many baskets do not start at 58mm at the top and instead would taper a bit until they reach 58mm. I've had a couple of other tampers that can leave some coffee fluff on the basket wall, but not this tamper.The action feels great and satisfying in hand, and the self-leveling helps to ensure that you have an even tamper each time. The v4 comes with 3 different springs, but I find that the 20lbs already installed is perfect.Finally, the black titanium finish seems to do a smoother job when you do a little twist at the end of your tamping, and just complements the beautiful walnut knob.

Very nice tamper and creates a very even puck. Solid and results are reproducible. Need to brush after each use in between the spring plate, but that's expected. Otherwise a great accessory.

I’ve owned a Normcore v4 tamper before and I loved it! Only reason I got this one was due to upgrade in machine (54mm to 58mm). The handle is a little darker than the photo but it looks amazing either way. It’s a really nice fit, you can feel the quality of the tamper.

A well designed and solid tamper for the price point. However, a Pullman Big Step does a better job keeping the edges perfectly clean, so less channeling.

Beautiful, efficient and well built

Excellent tool. I get flat, level pucks every time. Really helped me learning to use a naked portafilter.

This tamper takes one variable out of the espresso process, which is massively helpful when there are so many. I've been mastering my technique with the breville tamper and even still, getting a puck that is even thickness, no taper, is not guaranteed. This one gets you a perfectly flat puck without any technique. Definitely worth it. The extra weight only works to help mash those grounds in there. I'm very happy with this tamper, it has elevated our daily coffee routine.

Works well and looks cool!
