MiiCoffeeEspresso Coffee Tamper 58.5mm, Level Coffee Tamper for 58mm Portafilter, Adjustable Depth Stainless Steel Ripple Base

I like the click and the self leveling of the tamper.

I was previously using just the basic tamper that came with the machine, which was basically a plastic circle with a handle. This tamper feels like a massive upgrade in comparison. It's pretty heavy and just feels like a quality item. The depth setting has a satisfying click to indicate the change, and the pattern on the bottom makes it easy to tell if you have the right depth. It's also super easy to use. The tamp is now consistent with a single press, and the puck after use doesn't show any signs of channeling. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Works well

Use this every morning to make my espresso. I like how it's solid and adjustable. Very well made and nice looking too!

The product is well made and a great value. I was on the fence about 4-5 stars. Here are my thoughts:Pros:- The finish is very good. The tamper is well made, attractive, and nice to use.- The dimensions are very accurate. The diameter is indeed 58.5mm and it fits nicely in my Gaggia double basket.- Everything works properly and feels good (setting depth, plunging the tamper, etc.)Cons:- There is a spring, but that spring adds resistance to you pushing the tamper against the portafilter (it does not have anything to do with how hard you are tamping the grounds).- I find that the ringed surface can 'tear out' patches of grounds sometimes when I remove it. This may come down to technique, but I have never had this problem with a flat bottom tamper. The fact that you cannot twist the tamper before you remove it may also contribute to this issue.

The media could not be loaded. This is one of my coffee tools, I like that I can customize the depth. It is heavy duty and truly a very nice quality tamper.

This is a leveler tamper, meaning you'll always have a flat coffee bed. But it is not spring tamper. So it means the pressure on the coffee bed could be different every time, based on how hard you push it down. I was not able to push it consustent enough like I do with a spring loaded tamper. Also could not turn it a bit after tamping. Fits only if you like its simplicity and looks, and able to tamp consustenly enough like with a manual tamper. Worth the price of 25$ since good manual tamper costs the same.

Nice item
