Product Details

You place the tamper with the support plate on the edge of the basket and press the handle down. The plate stays on the basket and keeps the tamper straight. Only the lower part beneath the plate moves downward, compressing the coffee. Two springs work together inside the tamper: the first moves the support plate, the second regulates the tamping pressure to 8 to 10 kilos. Your ground coffee is compressed with exactly this force, shot after shot.

Why We Sell This Tamper

Our Felix Hohlmann is a two-time German Barista Champion, and he won his second title in February 2026. As the current champion, he will represent Germany in October at the World Championship in Panama. On stage, every shot counts, which is why Felix wanted a tamper he doesn't have to think about. We developed it according to his specifications, together with our founder Benjamin Hohlmann and Michel Indelicato, whom you know from almost all our YouTube videos.

We started with our KM Tamper, which we and many of you have been using for years. We added two features to address the most common tamping mistakes: the support plate helps prevent angled tamping, and the dual-spring system eliminates inconsistent pressure.

The Pro Pressure Tamper is manufactured by our long-time partner in China, a stainless steel and tamper forge with extensive experience and very precise craftsmanship.
