About the Flash Tamper 2.0
Press until it clicks.
What the Flash Tamper 2.0 adds
A defined stopping point with every tamp.
30 lbs as standard - approximately 13.6 kg of tamping force - audible, tactile click
Help with level tamping.
The support rim rests on your filter basket's rim and guides the tamping base during pressing. This means you need to make fewer corrections to the tamper's angle by hand.
The tamping base must fit freely inside your filter basket. Keep the basket rim clean.
Rim guidance - 58.35 mm tamping base
Tamp more lightly if that feels better.
Does the standard spring feel heavy to press? The included 15 lbs spring lowers the set tamping force to approximately 6.8 kg. To do this, replace the spring in the mechanism.
You change the tamping force by replacing the spring.
Extra spring included - 15 lbs - approximately 6.8 kg of tamping force
Is this right for me?
Want more guidance while tamping?
The Flash Tamper 2.0 suits you if you want to make tamping easier to repeat within your current espresso setup.
You are unsure when you have pressed enough.
The click gives you a recognisable endpoint. This is useful if you are still building a routine or regularly switch between different tampers.
You find level tamping difficult.
The rim guide helps keep the tamping base level. You still need to start with evenly distributed coffee and a stably supported portafilter.
You use a compatible 58 mm filter basket.
The tamping base on this version is 58.35 mm wide. Check your basket's internal dimensions and shape, even if your machine is described as 58 mm.

Press until it clicks.
Move the handle gently downwards. Stop when you hear and feel the click.

Frequently asked questions
What else would you like to know?
Does this tamper fit every 58 mm filter basket?
The 58 mm description does not guarantee identical internal dimensions. The tamping base is 58.35 mm wide and must move freely down to the coffee. In a basket that narrows towards the bottom, the fit can change. If unsure, send us the brand and model of your filter basket.
Is 30 lbs the ideal force for espresso?
It is this tamper's standard setting. For a good tamp, you want to compress the coffee evenly and sufficiently. Pressing harder and harder does not automatically give better results. The click mainly helps you repeat the same action.
Can I adjust the tamping force?
Yes. You can replace the standard 30 lbs spring with the included 15 lbs spring. This changes the set tamping force from approximately 13.6 to 6.8 kg. The adjustment is made inside the tamper.
What is the difference between a flat and a ridged base?
A flat base leaves a smooth surface. A ridged base creates a pattern of rings in the top of the coffee. Both versions have rim guidance and click feedback. The pattern alone is not proof of better extraction.
How do I keep the tamper clean?
Remove coffee residue with a dry cloth or soft brush. Keep the support rim clean too, so it can rest flat on your filter basket's rim.
