Rocket Tamper INOX – 58 mm stainless steel with flat base
The Rocket Espresso tamper in stainless steel, with a 58 mm diameter and a flat base. Rocket designs it for all Rocket Espresso machines.
When tamping, a level, even press matters more than a lot of force. The flat base presses the coffee bed evenly. We judge the shot by weight, not by time, with 1:2 as a starting point. Our opinion is one of many.

For anyone who wants the brand’s own tamper for a Rocket machine. You will find the machines in our Rocket Espresso collection, and you can see them live in our Bern showroom, Gerberngasse 44.
If you are looking for a tamper with defined pressure, there is the Spring-Loaded Tamper in the Normcore collection and the Weber Workshops tamper in the Weber Workshops collection. Both also offer tamping stations and puck screens in both price ranges. More tools are under barista equipment, and our advice tool helps you choose a machine.

Tip from the roastery: An evenly tamped puck shows what is in the bean. For espresso we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, round and chocolatey. For maximum body without acidity there is Very Nutty. This is our recommendation, one of many.
