Neouza 58mm Self Levelling Tamper… $19.75 - $1.98 tick coupon… Total $17.77 + Del ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend)

Don't buy this for the distributor as it's useless, the other side is a self leveling tamper with depth adjustment so it's much easier to get consistent results.

  • Consistent Brew- Leveling your grounds before tamping creates a uniform and consistent tamp.
  • Adjustable Depth - Set your desired tamping depth for consistent tamping pressure every time.
  • Pro Tip - Ensure your portafilter basket is fully dosed with coffee grinds to get the right amount of pressure from the tamper for a tighter pack and richer flavor. For best results, groom the top of the basket with a flat edge before tamping. Brew with good, filtered water.

    NEOUZA Coffee Distributor Leveler (58mm) https://amzn.asia/d/1qMODMS

    Something but cheaper!

    • +1

      That's just the distributor which I don't even use because it's not that good. I use the back of a knife to level off the grounds.

      The main reason to buy is for the flat tamper side.

    Stop. Buying. This. Crap.

      Please explain! Thanks.

        No problem! They do absolutely nothing for coffee distribution in the portafilter. They're a waste of money to buy them, a waste of materials to even make them, and a waste of time to incorporate into your workflow.
        IF YOU GENUINELY WANT TO IMPROVE your coffee grounds distribution in the portafilter, all you need is a dosing funnel (you can get for about $8 off Aliexpress), a Weiss distribution tool (WDT. Fancy term for….basically a tiny whisk. You can even make your own with a cork and paperclips) and it's useful to have a snug fitting tamper (most precision baskets take a 58.5mm tamper).
        Using the WDT method also has the added benefit of breaking up any clumps that are naturally produced by the grinder.

          yeah pretty much this. Self leveling tamper is the best investment you can make after WDT

          • @flashback: Or just have good tamping technique :-P But you're right, of course. Cheers for the support too. Copped 8 negs from people who value the placebo effect over good espresso.

            • @ASR-Briggs: Copped 8 negs from people who value the placebo effect

              Its more than that for each + you loose a -

            • @ASR-Briggs: I don't get it. You agreed with him about a self levelling tamper (this product) being a good investment but your original comment said stop buying this crap?

              • @bumluffa: I don't believe ASR-Briggs recommended a self levelling tamper; he recommended a snug fitting, aka precision or custom tamper.

              • +1

                @bumluffa: This is what I would regard as a self leveling tamper (not the garbage posted by OP):

                Literally first hit on Google. BUT AGAIN, if you actually read my comment, I said you don't even need this, just good technique.

        • +2

          Absolutely right. This has been tested and has been proven to be snake oil.

        • +1

          Thanks A SR-Briggs. Much appreciated :)

        • so you telling me all those pretentious insta reels with 30 step to make a good espresso are true?

          • @Jazza2400: Ehhhh, yes and no. There's some things that might add 1% or 2% to the finished product (like filter paper in the basket below the grounds, or a metal shower screen placed on top, etc etc), but WDT and tamping correctly will get you 95% of the way there.

            • +1

              @ASR-Briggs: cheers, I've got the standard breville with grinder etc and trying to get my espresso not horrible and watching some of these videos which are almost ragebait inducing. It's good to know where to draw the line at pretentious min maxing

        • From the OP:

          "Don't buy this for the distributor as it's useless, the other side is a self leveling tamper with depth adjustment"

        • Any recommendations for a tamper? And while you're at it, bonus points for funnel and WDT ;) Love you!

          • @Dauphin3: I'm not sure how helpful I can be here! My tamper is very much a one of a kind. The base is a 58.5mm convex tamper (which I had custom made 4 years ago. Some guy on ebay in the US used to do them for really cheap) and the handle is a gorgeous Reg Barber made from bubinga wood.
            The debate around convex/flat tampers has raged on for years, and I do not believe there is a consensus still. I went with convex because the shower screen on my machine has a curve to it. So when I have tamped and locked in the portafilter, the bed of coffee it equidistant at all points from the shower screen. That just made more sense to me.

          • @Dauphin3: You're looking for consistent repeatability so it's a bit of trial and error and also depends how far you want to go and how deep your pockets are.

            Any fine needle WDT tool works fine. aliexpress has them for cheap

            VST baskets help a lot

            Tamper should fit your VST basket pretty dam closely without much wiggle room. I bought an aliexpress ones with specific measurements that fits perfectly.

            I did also buy a Normcore springloaded tamper on sale just to test it out and it stops me from making slanted tamps but probably not necessary. Doesn't really stop you from tamping too hard or light so if you're tamp skills aren't good already it may not help much.

        • Yeah I was skeptical but got a wdt tool, all helps. Just have to hold handle level when tamp don't exactly need these ones but may take some error out of it if dosing the same amount in.

          • @G-rig: i have one of these, it’s great compared to the one that came with my breveille. dual boiler , levels much better as it has a step so stops level, the breville you can push in at an angle, for under $20 hard to find a better stainless steel tamp.

            • @garage sale: Sounds good, I'm sure they work and get it nice and level. I already have a nice heavy stainless steel tamper so no point having that sit the drawer. Still very much an art of judgement how hard to tamp and how much to dose in but get a decent feel for it. Not about to measure the weight every time (maybe once if it's written on packet of the good beans)

        • +1

          This tool can be used as a self levelling tamper. The fins are useful to spread the grounds around while tamping it down - I just use the "fins" side to do the tamping in a single motion.

          I don't pretend the "distribution" does anything - I just use it as a fast consistent tamp that helps flatten out the mound of grounds while pushing/spinning it down. Basically drop and spin the thing down all in a single motion. The weight and the fins make tamping easier than a regular tamp.

    Does anyone know where i can get ten kilo of cheap beans to season this tamper?

    A dosing funnel, WDT and tamper works for me.
