Kitchen Espresso Tamper

Fino Dual-Sided Espresso Tamper compresses ground espresso coffee into a puck that's level and dense for a richer, more flavorful espresso brew. Made from heavyweight aluminum; strong and durable. Compress ground espresso into a dense, evenly dispersed puck through which pressurized water flows more slowly for a richer, flavorful extraction. Creates a necessary gap between the top of the grounds and the machine so the dampened grounds don't swell and clog the water disbursement screen. Dual ends (48-millimeters and 53-millimeters) fit most portafilter baskets; 4-ounce weight for effortless tamping; hand wash in warm, soapy water.

• base that matches the portafilter basket
• a comfortable and balanced handle for a secure grip
• substantial weight
