Timemore Pucks Calibrated Tamper 58:4mm: Black Walnut Wood
The Timemore Calibrated Tamper – Walnut Wood (58.4mm) delivers precise, repeatable tamping with a click you can feel and trust. Built with a smooth walnut grip and a 30lb spring-loaded mechanism, it takes the guesswork out of puck prep — and adds a satisfying rhythm to your workflow. If you've ever second-guessed your tamp, this puts confidence back in your hands.
Consistent Pressure. Better Shots. No Guesswork.
Uneven tamping is a silent killer of good espresso — it leads to channelling, bitter flavours, and wasted beans. This calibrated tamper removes those variables. As you tamp, the pressure increases gradually, then clicks at exactly 30 pounds. Whether you're learning or dialled in, the result is a smooth, even puck that’s ready to extract like it should.

Why Choose the Timemore Calibrated Tamper – Walnut Wood
With a warm walnut handle and a precisely machined stainless steel base, this tamper feels as good as it functions. Unlike standard tampers, it gives instant feedback the moment you reach the perfect pressure — no more inconsistent shots or over-compressed pucks. Designed for 58mm baskets, it’s a smart and beautiful upgrade that enhances your technique without altering your routine.
How It Works
- Wrap your hand around the walnut handle and align it with your coffee bed.
- Press down gently — the spring compresses smoothly until it reaches 30 lbs.
- You’ll hear a crisp, confident click — the sign that your puck is ready.
- Lift the tamper. You’ll see a smooth, even surface that resists channelling and pulls beautifully.
Maintenance & Best Practices
- Wipe with a soft cloth after use. Avoid abrasive pads or soaking the wood.
- Do not force beyond the click — the spring mechanism is precision-calibrated and does not require excess pressure.
- Store upright or on a silicone mat to avoid scratching the base.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes a calibrated tamper different?
A calibrated tamper uses a spring mechanism that clicks at a specific pressure — in this case, 30 lbs. It removes the need to estimate tamp force, making your prep more consistent and repeatable.
-
Will this fit my machine?
Yes. The 58.4mm base fits snugly into most 58mm baskets used in machines from La Marzocco, ECM, Rocket, Profitec, and more.
-
Does it come with a stand or mat?
Not with the tamper alone — but the full Timemore PUCKS Set – Wood includes a non-slip mat to protect your bench and tools.
-
Is 30lbs the right pressure?
Yes. 30lbs is widely considered the industry standard for espresso tamping — enough to compact the grounds without over-compressing and causing channelling.
