The Pesado Black/Riga Tamper is a precision tool designed for coffee tamping, featuring a 58.5mm diameter and a 90-degree edge for optimal basket coverage. It’s ideal for baristas seeking to improve their tamping technique, as it reduces un-tamped grounds and enhances extraction consistency. The tamper’s modular handle combines a durable POM construction with a stylish birch wood end, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The PESADO 58.5 tamper has been created to perfect the coffee tamping procedure. Our tamper diameter is 58.5mm with a precision machined 90 degree edge to maximise basket coverage.

The sharp edges extend the effective tamping area and get full coverage of the basket, leaving no residue and maximising consistency. Reducing un-tamped grounds means reducing the chance of channelling, and increased consistency over the coffee puck will result in a more even extraction and a higher extraction yield.

These premium modular handles have been developed for those with luxury in mind. Complemented by the wooden layers of the Riga modular ends, this tamper is sure to look good from any angle.

Had my ECM Synchronika serviced by Espresso Works recently and figured the service was worth writing a review of my excellent experience. I bought my machine second hand and immediately encountered a leak from my flow control valve. Another 5-star rated company charged me an absolute fortune and didn't resolve the issue until the second visit. I had to show them how to fix the leak, and that it was two perished o-rings that caused it. The fix only requires 10 minutes of work and a few dollars in parts. They also returned my machine with a dent and several scratches. The reason I include this anecdote is because it doesn't seem uncommon for companies to offer servicing and repairs for premium machines and not actually know what they're doing or take any care in the quality of their work. Espresso Works is a welcome exception to this. Meaghan organised for Dom to both collect and return my machine; both times were prompt and on time. When it was returned, all surfaces had been wiped down and looked almost new again. All my valves, levers and taps are smoother and quieter than I'd have expected them to be on a several year old machine! They listened to what my concerns were about the machine before pickup and these were reflected in the service report on my invoice where each issue was looked into. In short, I highly recommend Espresso Works to anyone with a premium machine, especially those with ECM machines, as the work done on mine is fantastic and the experience interacting with their company was great.

Top quality customer service. Great product range for high-end home coffee machines. I had small issues with my Torre Peppina. They sent a technician straight away to get it fixed and followed up to ensure the machine was working perfectly. I recommend buying with a local like Espresso Works Perth WA for the extra assistance post-sale.
