Sometimes Things Just Click. Our company began with a search for perfection and a desire to eliminate unknown variables from the brewing process, which led us to develop the ESPRO Calibrated Tamper, our very first product and patent. The Tamper replaces guesswork with precision by delivering an exact 30 pounds of force with a reassuring click every time. Water will always seek the path of least resistance. ESPRO’s Calibrated Tamper ensures that all the grounds are compressed uniformly and consistently, creating perfectly even resistance against water pressure and ensuring full saturation. By eliminating variations in tamping force, we’ve made it possible to ensure consistent espresso from barista to barista, hour to hour, day to day, with only the need for a simple grinder adjustment. We designed the tamper with a stainless steel base and an anodized aluminum handle for durability, and it’s available in a variety of sizes with both flat and convex bases.

The quality is great, it’s heavy and solid and appears well made. But the “felt click” at ~30lbs didn’t happen for me. I watched the video on Espro’s site several times and it looks like there’s a slight release or slip before it touches the travel stop, giving the impression of a felt “click” release. But mine was a smooth…
Saves my wrist This tamper is incredibly sturdy in feel and construction. It’s also many times heavier than the tamper that came with my Breville 920XL. The heaviness combined with the clicking at 30 lbs really makes my hand and wrist hurt less than with my previous tamper. It turns out I’ve been tamping way too hard. This makes tamping quick, painless (literally), and consistent.Picture features my old Breville tamper on the left, and the Espro on the right.
Great way to get more consistent shots out of your expensive espresso machine This is a great tamper, especially if you have trouble gauging just how much pressure to apply to those lovely fresh grounds. The 58mm size fits my single, double and open-bottom Profitec portafilters almost perfectly and gives me great and even results with each shot I pull. The hard stainless steel surface is both durable and easy to keep clean with just a quick wipe.About the only two things I’d like to change would be to have some way of calibrating the force differently.
