Wooden Handled 51mm Coffee Tamper

There's really not an great deal to say about this portafilter, it's a basic, wood handled portafilter with a flat alloy base. If you're literally just looking for a tamper that will do the job, and you're not interested in shelling out any more than you absolutely need to, this will do the job, for any 51mm portafilter machines.

• 51mm tamper
• Flat, alloy base
• 300g weight
• Solid wooden handle

So basically this is a straight forward decent value tamper, it has no bells or whistles, just a flat metal base and a wooden handle, all you really need. 

If you want to spend more on a tamper, you certainly can, but in terms of what you might get for the additional spend - if you're wanting a standard basic tamper, probably not a great deal.

If you want a calibrated tamper, then in my opinion that's something worth spending a few quid on, as consistency of tamp pressure is very important, so this removes one of the many variables.

But if you're not fussed, and you literally just want a solid, wooden handled tamper that will do the job for the minimum investment, I don't think you can go wrong with this.
