omgogoCoffee Tamper 51mm Barista Espresso Tamper Stainless Steel

It wasn't until I watched Alton Brown's "Good Eats" on how to brew the perfect cup of espresso that I knew that one is supposed to compress the grounds. After reading a bunch of reviews on other tampers, I went with this one and am not disappointed. Very ergonomic and fits well in my hand allowing me to easily apply the requisite 40-pounds of pressure (per Mr. Brown) to create the cake from which to extract the nectar of the Gods! I use my 20-year-old Krups machine (hat my wife wanted me to replace with the new K-cup things) but bought a grinder instead. I am by no means a connoisseur, but am happy with my arrangement and this tamper is the perfect addition.

Very nice

Great weighted tamper for a really good price. True Stainless steel, easy to clean and looks pretty. Does the job well!

For the price, it's decent. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for it as it's lacking finish and the shape of the palm swell can be uncomfortable. In terms of finish, you can feel the raised lines from being turned. It just seems incomplete, like it could have used 20min or so of sanding to clean it up.

Fits perfect with delonghi single serve expresso machine. A must have.

The size is perfect for my DeLonghi Icona espresso machine. I wish the tamper had a little more weight to it but it does its job, and can’t ask too much for this price!!

Its solid, feels heavy. Seems like its good quality. I have no complaints. Use it nearly every day

This tamper is better than my original. The 58mm is spot on. Nice heft, very smooth, good looks, couldn't ask for more.
