Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rattleware 53-Milimeter Round-Handled Tamper, Long
Customer Review: Perfect for Starbucks Barista/Saeco Aroma/Estro Vapore
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a rather old Estro Vapore that later became rebranded as the Starbucks Barista, which is essentially the same as the Saeco Aroma.
I found that my machine was always getting espresso grounds caked up in the seal. Part of the problem I finally figured out was the poor, tapered, and too-small design of the Starbucks tamper I was using.
I decided to spring for this relatively pricey item. It is 53mm in diameter whereas my measurements of both the 2-shot basket and pod basket were around 53-1/2mm with a very slight taper. The tamper also has a very square edge. I was hoping the tight fit and square edge would keep the grounds out of the threads and rubber seal.
It sure did the trick. Cleaning my espresso machine is now 5X easier as the tamper keeps all the grounds pressed into the basket rather than on the sides. As a bonus, the thickness of the base is just the right depth so it is flush with the basket when tamped, letting you know you got the right amount of grounds in the basket and not overfilled.
Other than the high price, I give it a small nit because the top part is of a relatively cheap, hard plastic, and doesn't have that nice grippy feel of the Starbucks rubber grip on their tamper. Overall, I am very glad I purchased this as it makes me a lot more willing to use my espresso machine, knowing that it won't be a dread to clean.
