Description of ☕ Efficient HIC Dual-Sided Espresso Tamper | 4-Ounce Weight | 50mm and 55mm

HIC’s Dual-Sided Espresso Tamper compresses ground espresso coffee into a puck that’s level and dense for a richer, more flavorful espresso brew. Made from heavyweight aluminum; resists damage caused by the naturally occurring acids found in Coffee; strong and durable.

Feels very cheap good for manipulators

Looks cheap but the stitching is terrible. I was expecting something more solid. It's definitely covered in something that doesn't feel safe to touch something you're ingesting (stainless steel plating?). I will most likely return for a better product.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Beautiful little die cast aluminum coffee tamper made in Taiwan not China

Incredible value for money. It is made of aluminum and therefore cannot be washed in hot water or in the dishwasher as aluminum products have a thin layer of oxide which can be discolored by strong detergents. Just wipe it with a cloth to keep it clean, it won't attract dirt and very little coffee grounds will stick to it.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Only available in white

NO STAINLESS STEEL - Made primarily of high impact plastic-like material

It's not plastic, it's polycarbonate. The picture is deceptive, its placement in search results is deceptive as it sits alongside quality stainless steel and other metal tampers. Not impressed. The design of the product is comfortable to hold, but in its favor. I just wish it was solid, weighted stainless steel and not a coated, molded plastic thing.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Piggy bank price

Perfect Tamper - Small Appliance Parts & Accessories

This little tamper is great, it's short, fits in my hand and a pleasure to use with my Mr. Coffee. Call me lazy but I don't understand how to wash it - the tamper is only used for tamping dry coffee grounds which are immediately exposed to hot if not boiling water which should kill any germs. Why put a tamper in the dishwasher? He doesn't get dirty! I love mine - it does the job and costs the least. Ideal.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Some Small Things

Size 50mm perfect for Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1102 Cafe Barista Espresso and Cappuccino Maker. If you are looking for the best puck press this is the size. The wide end then becomes your grip and is good enough to use multiple times a day. If you keep brewing coffee, it will be uncomfortable in your hand. But it's soooo much better than the standard plastic case that comes with it, especially for $7 with shipping.

Pros
  • One Year Trial
Cons
  • Rmpled

greatly improve the quality of my espresso

I like it - it works well and is cheap. has a good sense of touch and a wide area for stamping. Its width at both ends allows for easy palm or hand pressing. However, I haven't tried putting it in the dishwasher or doing anything other than wiping it down. The photos shared by others look like a lot of aluminum items I've accidentally put through the dishwasher. I'll update when this starts to fall apart, though. otherwise it looks like a guard and cute kitchen utensil

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Very durable great size and weight ideal for beginners

I bought a cheap espresso machine at a big discount and it came with a plastic spoon/tamper which I used for 3 months as I don't spend a lot (I know that making a good espresso at home can get very expensive very quickly). This is a great solution to my plastic problem. The smaller tempera end fits perfectly and the size and weight is just nice to press. I have average girls hands and love how easy it is to flatten with your palm compared to the rounded grips of other pounders. I was extremely…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Compatibility

Well made, perfect size

Three things motivated my choice of rammer to review. Unique opportunity, direct comparison and pleasant exit for others. It's struck me that with fifteen Saboteurs and about the same number of participants at this point (if not more when it gets to you) some get double checked, but manners dictate that the first in the party doesn't take everything. the best snacks off the plate on the first playthrough. If you like a large handle to grip and a slightly wider surface to squeeze, this is the…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • So so
