Espresso Tamper

To create a properly extracted espresso, the coffee grounds must be compressed into a perfect puck. When evenly compressed, a process called tamping, the grounds resist the pressure of the water so the coffee can brew to the right concentration. An even cup all comes down to the tamper. We love this espresso tamper from St. Anthony-a company known and admired for their handcrafted tools-because of its weighted balance making tamping ever so satisfying. Plus, its rounded wooden handle is a joy to hold.
