Eureka Disko – Automatic Tamper, Freestanding
Portafilter into the fork, the sensor detects it, and after around 1.5 seconds the ground coffee is tamped. The Eureka Disko is a freestanding automatic tamper.
The tamping pressure can be set between 10 and 30 kg, and if you wish, the Disko tamps twice in a row. The fork is height-adjustable and takes single, double and bottomless portafilters. A metal sensor detects the portafilter automatically; no buttons are needed.
The housing is made of metal, and rubber feet keep the Disko stable on the counter. In Clean Mode the tamper disc lowers and can be removed for cleaning when needed. A hex key and a brush are included.
Consistent pressure is one variable less. How the espresso tastes is still decided by the bean, the grind size and the weight ratio, with 1:2 as a starting point. Our opinion is one of many: some prefer to tamp by hand, others value the repeatability.

Who it is made for
For anyone who wants to start every shot with the same tamping pressure, whether at home with several espressos in a row or in a business with high throughput. You can find more grinders and accessories from the brand at Eureka, and manual alternatives among our tampers.
For anyone who tamps by hand and wants it affordable and precise: the pressure-regulating tamper from the Normcore Collection. If you want a self-levelling tamper: the Really Nice Tamper from Weber Workshops. For the weight ratio in the cup: scales from the Normcore Collection, compact and precise, or with app and flow rate from Acaia.
You can find the matching grinder among our coffee grinders. If you are planning grinder, tamper and machine together, our advice tool helps.

Tip from the roastery: With consistent tamping pressure, you taste the differences between beans more clearly. We recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, full-bodied with chocolate and nut. If you want maximum body without acidity, go for Very Nutty. For the curious: Wild Peach, fruity and lively. That is our recommendation, one of many.
