This works great and makes tamping much easier. There were no instructions so it was a little confusing on setting the pressure. There are lines on the stem representing the pressure, but not a clear direction on how to line up the top. The feel of the unit is nice and the weight is nice.

Value Rating – 5/5 stars. At under $25, this tamper feels premium and performs like a much more expensive one. The build quality, adjustability, and feedback click make it a standout for the price.Specifications• Size: 51mm (also available in 53.35mm and 58.35mm)• Adjustable pressure: 25–35 lbs• Spring-loaded with 4 internal springs• Audible click when preset pressure is reached• Aluminum handle and stainless steel ripple baseKey PointsWe recently got an espresso machine, which led me down the rabbit hole of accessories—and apparently this tamper is one of the must-haves. I get why now. It’s surprisingly heavy, super solid in your hand, and actually makes a noticeable difference.If you’re new to espresso like I was, here’s the quick version: after you grind your beans, you need to compress the grounds evenly in the portafilter before brewing. That’s what a tamper does. If it’s too loose or uneven, your espresso ends up weak, sour, or bitter. This one gives you perfectly even compression and even clicks when you’ve pressed with the right amount of pressure (25–35 lbs), so there’s no guesswork. The spring-loaded design is great, especially if you’re trying to get consistent results and not just wing it every time.Final ThoughtsThis tamper has definitely earned its spot next to our espresso machine. It’s easy to use, satisfying to hold, and has made our shots way more consistent. If you’re just getting into espresso at home, this is one of those accessories that actually makes a difference.

Great impact tamper at a great price. Don't sleep on this.

Love It !!! Don’t know why I waited so long to finally purchase. Works great and you can adjust the pressure based upon your grind and bean type.Top cap just unscrews and you just twist the unit clockwise to increase pressure or counter clockwise to decrease. It has a gauge of 30 marked on the spindle with a + and - marking with increment markings so it’s easy to figure out how much pressure you’ll be applying.Build quality is excellent, I even spin it over my grounds prior to tamping and unit acts as a polisher as well.Highly Recommend !!!

This tamper is very satisfying to use. It has a nice heft to it and feels comfortable to hold. The tamper also has a deep click when optimal pressure is met.
