  • Very Well Made
Package Quantity: 1
Nice heavy tamper. Got to use this over the weekend and it’s a very nice tool. It’s made of a solid metal and I don’t see how it could ever break or get damaged. The weight also makes it easier for the tamping process and it’s very easy to clean without much even sticking to it. Smooth edges and surfaces all around make it easy to handle with two different sizes. Overall I think it’s a great product and I would highly recommend it! ... show more

Good size. Has two different size, our espresso only uses the smaller size and it works great. Nothing fancy and not too heavy or anything. It’s a good buy for something cheap and quick.

  • Seems to be a quality product! Works perfectly for me!
Package Quantity: 1
This item was an absolutely perfect match for the "De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker" which I purchased at the same time. To make a PERFECT cappuccino also consider getting the above espresso maker, the "Stainless Steel 10oz. Steaming & Frothing Pitcher" and the "Bodum Pavina 2-1/2-Ounce Double-Wall Espresso/Shot Thermo Glasses, Set of 2". For around $100 this combo makes a cappuccino that is JUST as good as any coffee shop I've patronized! Be sure to get coffee especially fine-ground for espressos... don't just get an "espresso blend" for drip coffee makers! You can get "Cafe Bustelo" brand here on Amazon (look at its great reviews) or just about any big discount store and it makes a perfect crema and is delicious. Look for a yellow can. When filling the above espresso maker with coffee, use the included scoop, filled and then leveled. DON'T fill the scoop past the top at all! Dump the coffee in the center of the ONE CUP filter and tamp with the "RSVP Terry's Tamper" by just setting it down on the coffee, allowing the weight of the tamper to smooth and level the coffee into the filter. DON'T push or apply any extra pressure! Simply turn the tamper a few times to level the coffee, then lift it away carefully. If your crema is too dark and bitter, you probably pressed or tamped too much. If there is little crema or it is too light, you probably didn't tamp or smooth it enough. Set aside an 11-12 oz coffee cup and pull an espresso that just fills the 2.5 oz Bodum Pavina glass (the crema should drag across the bottom of the spouts on the espresso maker. Set the glass of espresso aside and fill the frothing pitcher with COLD milk. We successfully use plain almond milk or 2% cow milk. >>Be sure to only fill to just under the indentation in the middle of the pitcher.<< Use the steamer wand to froth the milk following the instructions that come with the EC155. The milk *should* froth up to just nearly overflowing, making just the right amount of froth. If you use coffee flavorings (like Torani Brand syrups) put them in the coffee cup first (2-3 teaspoons is what we like)... then pour on the froth... then pour your coffee on top. (Be careful... the wide and thick Bodum Pavina cup is a little hard to pour from without espresso dribbling down the side.) Give a very slight stir with a spoon and serve. If you like a very hot cappuccino just microwave for 20-30 seconds and then serve. Anyway, this tamper seems to be of nice quality. I have had no problem with flaking as others have reported. If used carefully and cleaned with each use, I think it should work for a really long time! As stated this is a PERFECT match for the Espresso/Cappuccino-making combo that we put together after much research. Enjoy! ... show more

  • It’s cheap. It works. It’s almost good enough.
Package Quantity: 1
Well, you get what you pay for. This tamper is just wonky. Tamping surfaces are not at all flat and it has pretty big casting marks that you feel in your hand. The footprint is pretty close to a circle, I guess. The chrome finish looks nice enough, from a distance. It wobbles on a flat surface. But you know, none of that stuff should really matter much. It’s ... a solid aluminum tamper. It works. And it’s very, very cheap. Maybe that’s what you are looking for. This is a really good product at a great price if you have absolutely no concern for fit and finish. But since you are buying a tamper, let’s just come out and say it, maybe it’s because you are a little bit of a snob. Some say you enjoy the crema of life. Maybe you are unsatisfied with the crappy plastic tamper that came with your espresso machine. In which case, you are also the sort of person who will regret this purchase. Just a wild guess here. Spend a couple extra bucks on something made with a bit more care. ... show more

  • Works great! No problems!
Package Quantity: 1
I ordered this at the same time as my De'Longhi EC155. I'm glad I did. The De'Longi's built-in plastic "tamper" might work for leveling your grounds, but it would be almost impossible to tamp with. It's permanently attached to the machine, so you would have to press the basket UPWARD against it with the proper force (40 lb., according to some sources) without tipping the machine over. Instead, I've been using this tamper for the last five months, and it works beautifully. Others complained of plating flaking off, revealing a dull cheaper metal. I've had no flaking. I don't know if it's plated or solid metal, (manufacturers have been known to improve their products in response to complaints) but my tamper looks as shiny and new as the day it arrived. Given others' complaints about it not being dishwasher safe, I haven't been fool enough to risk putting it in the dishwasher when it's so easy to hand-wash. I wipe it with a clean, dry towel after each shot, so it doesn't need washed that often. Regarding claims it does not fit the De'Longhi EC155: the De'Longhi's portafilter has an I.D. of 52.5 mm. The smaller end of this tamper has a diameter of 50.1 mm. This means a difference of 2.4 mm. Subtracting the engineering tolerance for a loose running fit (.32 mm at this diameter) we get 2.08 mm. Divide by 2 to get the radius, and we get a 1.04 mm ring of grounds around the tamper. Even if the sides of the portafilter were straight all the way to the bottom, (They aren't, there's a step halfway down, with 4mm difference in the diameter of the top and the bottom.) some of the vertical force would be transmitted laterally against the sides, applying an equal force to all but the top 1 mm or so of grounds. So you have a ring of less compressed (but not uncompressed) grounds about 1 mm wide and 1 mm deep. The finer the grind, the deeper the tamper sinks into the portafilter. It sinks 1-2 mm at espresso grinds, so you'd have this 1 mm ring of less compressed grounds sitting ON TOP of a 50 mm puck of more compressed grounds. If water follows the path of least resistance, any water flowing along the outer edge will tend to flow away from this ring, toward the empty space in the middle. So you've got at little loose coffee siting on top of a perfect puck. How much? Given an average density coffee, (641 kg/m^3) about 0.1 g. I'm enough of a coffee snob to weigh my beans, not just scoop them. My coffee scale weighs to 0.1 g. That's about the weight of one coffee bean. ... show more
