Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vaneli's Aluminum Tamper 58mm --2.28 Inches (2 5/16")
Customer Review: There's more to it than smashing coffee grounds...
Summary: 5 Stars
My preference is NOT for a tamper with a round top. That is not comfortable to the palm of my hand when pushing with the pressure required for a good tamp. The slightly convex shape of the Vaneli's tamper is a perfect fit.
It is important to tamp grounds FLAT in the filter. If the tamp is crooked, you will have problems getting a good extraction. This tamper is perfect for a Rancilio Silvia basket. The height of the bottom piece is 'just' tall enough to reach to the rim of the double basket with 14g. of coffee. I can easily feel with my fingers on the tamper/basket joint if the tamp is not square in the filter. That gauging factor makes it a snap to get the tamp correctly positioned.
This is a great tool!
