Normcore 53.3mm Espresso Coffee Tamper - Titanium Ripple Plating Base - Spring Loaded Tamper - 15lb / 25lb / 30lbs Replacement Springs - Anodized Aluminum Handle and Stand

Great product, looks professional, feels durable and functions well, consistently. For the price it's great to have peace of mind knowing this is one variable to not worry about in making espresso.

I was a fan of Normcore products and expected a great experience just like how previous ones were. Very disappointed to receive a used product with coffee grounds all over the place. As kitchenware which is supposed to be clean and food-safe, I cannot tolerate this and will look for other brands. (Update) Shortly after I wrote this review, Normcore contacted me and offered to replace the used product that I initially received. I was really impressed by their customer service. Normcore isn't a company who only cares about famous Youtubers. They listen to real customers who spend hard earned money to buy their products. This tamper is very well made. It compresses the puck perfectly flat and leaves very little coffee grounds on the interior wall of the basket. Night and day difference from the Breville tamper. Titanium coating doesn't 100% eliminate the need of cleaning but it helps. It actually has a different ribbed sidewall compared to non-coated ones. I believe this feature reduces vacuum and prevents the puck to be deformed when lifting the tamper from the basket. Using Normcore v3 WDT and this v4 Tamper, I was able to completely eliminate bottomless portafilter spraying espresso (channeling). Only a minor thing that I would suggest Normcore consider for their v5 tamper development would be the bigger surface at the top of the handle. It would reduce the pressure to the palm.

I still use this multiple times per day. Well built, feels solid and definitely worth the price.

Works great. I have trouble being even with the standard tamper. My sone suggested this one and I love it. I use it every day to make my latte.

Nice Sturdy Do the job

I’ve been using this tamper for awhile now. The pros are that it’s sturdy and consistent. The cons are that since it’s grooved, coffee tends to get stuck in the grooves, causing loose coffee at the top of the puck. Unsure if this impacts flow at all, but in the future I’d probably go with the flat face instead

Works perfectly and looks sharp. Haven’t tried to swap out the screws, but it works great with the one that came preinstalled

Very good

It looks nice and extraction is better now

Dispone de varias opciones para ejercer fuerza en el tamper, es fácil de cambiar los resortes que vienen en el producto, además de que se ve que son buenos materiales. Una excelente opción para usar en la preparación de tu café.

Perfect and steady. Always the right pressure. Good solid build quality
