OK, we admit it; we're quite choosey when it comes to our espresso equipment. We're so choosey in fact, that all of the machines we sell use the industry-standard 58mm group head size. That means that most of the tampers we sell have 58mm bases. We realise that this might leave some of our customers feeling left out though. What do you do if you purchased some other type of machine somewhere else? Nobody's perfect, and we forgive you; we even have something to solve all your tamping problems.

For a long time we took note of the fact that customers who had espresso machines with non-standard group heads were just unable to find a decent tamper to fit their machines. They may have been stuck with some terrible plastic freebie. If that broke, they were really in trouble! So don't worry; we've got you covered. Right here at CCB, we have proper steel-based, aluminium-handled, get-the-job-done-right tampers, just for you, available in three different sizes so that you can choose one that fits your machine.

Please make sure to pick the right size for your machine. While the team can try to advise you, these tampers aren't suitable for the brands that we work with, so you're best off consulting with your manual or manufacturer's website to figure out which size you need.
