The revolutionary Espro Tamper is spring loaded to measure the exact amount of tamping pressure needed for perfect espresso extraction. Excellent as a training tool or as a great addition to your espresso preparation toolbox, this innovative product takes the guesswork out of gauging the right amount of tamping pressure.

The Espro Tamper features a patent-pending mechanism built into the handle that provides feedback in the form of a subtle click to indicate that exactly thirty pounds of downward pressure has been applied.

Thirty pounds of downward pressure is considered by espresso experts to be the optimum pressure needed to apply to ensure espresso grounds receive an even and level pressure, which in turn yields a consistent espresso time after time. Try a bathroom scale to get a sense of what thirty pounds of downward pressure feels like.

Each Espro Tamper is carefully crafted with a polished stainless-steel base, anodized turned metal handle, heavy-duty steel spring components and attention to detail. Espro brings their depth of knowledge about the manufacture of high-quality, innovative, espresso brewing accessories to this design - not only a functional tool, but also one that maximizes ease of use and revolutionary design.
