Consistent, level tamps on your Breville
This self-levelling tamper solves wobbly, uneven presses by loading precise, selectable force straight down onto the puck. The gauge tamper design reduces the effort it takes to achieve the same tamp every time.
How It Works
Set the force indicator between 7 kg and 10 kg to suit your grind and dose, then place the tamper on your filled 54 mm basket. Press straight down until the spring mechanism completes the tamp and the base sits flat. Lift away, check the level surface, and pull your shot. The action feels smooth and controlled for easy, repeatable results.

Maintenance & Best Practices
Wipe the stainless steel base after each use and keep it dry. Clean off stray grounds from the levelling plate before tamping. Avoid submerging the walnut handle; use a slightly damp cloth, then dry. Do not place in the dishwasher. Store in a dry spot away from steam to protect the wood and mechanics.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will this 54 mm coffee tamper fit my Breville?
It is designed for 54 mm Breville portafilters. If you are unsure of your model’s basket size, check the manual or measure across the inside of the basket.
-
How does the variable force gauge work?
Set the indicator to your preferred tamp force between 7 kg and 10 kg. The spring mechanism then applies that pressure consistently as you press, helping deliver repeatable extractions.
-
Is it truly self levelling?
Yes. The levelling plate keeps the base flat as you tamp, reducing side-loaded pucks and helping minimise channelling.
-
Does it work with non-Breville 54 mm baskets?
It is made for 54 mm Breville portafilters. It may fit other 54 mm baskets with similar tolerances, but always confirm your basket’s internal diameter.
-
How should I care for the walnut handle?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry straight away. Avoid harsh chemicals and soaking. Keep it out of the dishwasher.
