Crema Coffee Products - 54mm 2-in-1 Tamper & Distributor - White - Compatible with 54mm Breville Portafilters - Double Sided, Adjustable Depth - Beautiful Espresso Hand Tampers, White

Most home barista’s know that grind size and being consistent are a huge part of making good espresso. Tamping plays a huge part of the equation. This tamper/leveler is worth its weight in gold. I did a lot of searching on different web sights selling these items. The cost was shockingly high and unreasonable to say the least. This purchase was not only reasonable but also a step above the rest. It is solid and heavy. You want a tamper/leveler that is solid and weighty so that you do less work. This product does both leveling and tamping. Did I mention it’s adjustable as well for depth. Both sides! Again alot depends on how much espresso you dose up in your basket and consistency as to how you adjust for performance. The size is absolutely perfect! Also it’s quite nice looking, and made of solid stainless steel. Nothing cheap whatsoever! Important to note that the 58.5 size is what you want for flush 58mm baskets. Do your research and check out prices. This tamper is easy on the wallet and quite a nice addition to my coffee bar.

Prior to this I was getting pretty good results using separate leveling and tamping tools, and probably would've never thought to get anything else. My tamper was pretty standard (decent upgrade from what came with my espresso machine), but the leveler was a Motta. Unfortunately the leveler fell off the top of my grinder onto an espresso mug, which put two barbs in the rim that made it uncomfortable to handle. After confirming Motta didn't sell just a replacement handle, I started shopping one-piece tools. I liked the all-silver yet understated look of this one. Compared to having separate tools, it's nice to only have the one footprint to deal with in your setup. Also the leveler and tamper depths are adjustable, so once tuned to your bean/grind, they do the same thing every time. I left the leveler setting as-is but put a little more depth on the tamper side. It gives a satisfying sink when compressing the grounds after leveling and a nice polish. I'm not exacting enough to where I weigh out the beans or grounds but am used to how much grind goes in the portafilter, and am getting more consistent results finishing with this tool. Shots come out with no noticeable difference every time, whereas before, some would pull faster than others. Really like the look, functionality, and simplicity of this tool. Also the 58.5mm is a perfect fit for my Gaggia Classic Pro.

I was skeptical of spending this much on a tamper, but the Flair sizing is so specific there weren't many options. However, I am very happy with this - it's heavy, well built, and works like a charm. It has helped me fine-tune my tamper settings and greatly improved the consistency of my espressos.

I originally purchased this Crema Coffee Products version of this tool, but after seeing a Culikem branded knock-off for $15 instead of $45 I decided to purchase it and compare the two.The double shot basket on the Breville Barista Pro measures 53.75 mm (2.116”). The Crema tool measures 53.34 mm (2.100”) as advertised, and the Culikem version measures 53.00 mm (2.087”) also as advertised. This means the Culikem tool is nearly twice as loose as the Crema, and the difference is somewhat visually noticeable in the tamp (a partial ring of untamped grounds), however I don’t believe it made a practical difference in the tamp.This is where the downsides of the knock-off end. I was shocked at how comparable the quality of the two were given the price. There was nothing about the Culikem that indicated any corners were cut compared to the Crema. In fact, the tool faces and sides were nicely polished whereas Crema left the sides as a machined finish (though still acceptable).Overall the knock off did what I need at an excellent price. I can still recommend the Crema tool as very high quality and well fitting with the Breville basket. If you think the closer fit is worth paying 3x as much, then you will not be disappointed!

Amazing tool that fits perfectly my Gaggia Classic Pro portafilter

Fits well and works well, looks good on the counter and easy to use.

Date purchased: 2023-04-20Overall: A useful and sturdy tool that combines leveling and tamping and looks great doing so.What I like:- Construction is solid- It's easy to adjust the leveling and tamping settings- It consolidates both functions into one useful deviceWhat I don't like:- All good so far!

Love the build quality. Works great, easy to set up and get going. Only issue we have is that the grounds get stuck in the side on the distributer end of the tool. Other than that, amazing.

Es muy bonito, y se siente muy pesado; me ha ayudado con mis espressos.

Calidad un producto súper funcional, y la calidad es de lo mejor

Queda perfecto para el portafiltro de 54mm de la Breville BES870XL/A , es más fácil de usar que un tamper y nivela muy bien previo a usar la parte del aplanado dejando todo listo para un gran espresso. Lo recomiendo mucho

Nada extraordinario, cumple con su funcion en cuanto a siempre tener un tamping parejo y nivelado. solo necesitas ajustarlo a tu filtro y la cantidad de cafe que usas, y listo. el unico pero es que se me hace caro para lo que realmente es.

This makes difference in coffee teste.
