MHW-3BOMBER Tampermatte – non-slip silicone mat for tamping
The portafilter stands securely, nothing slides, and as you compress the grounds, the spout hangs clear over the edge. Splashes and crumbs stay on the soft surface, and at the end you just wipe them away. A small mat that keeps the tamping moment calm and clean.
A durable silicone mat as a firm, gentle spot for every tamp.
What makes a good Tampmatte
When you tamp, you press down with weight – that's where a mat helps, one that doesn't slip and absorbs the pressure. The silicone mat gives the portafilter a stable footing, protects the counter from pressure marks, and the spout from scratches. At the same time, it catches loose grounds that fall aside during distribution and tamping.
The soft, grippy silicone rinses out or wipes clean quickly after a shot – an unassuming piece that keeps the espresso corner tidier. Our opinion is one of many.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need a Tampmatte for?
It gives the portafilter a non-slip, stable footing while tamping, protects the counter and spout, and catches loose grounds. That makes the whole motion calmer and cleaner.
How do I clean the Tampmatte?
Just rinse it or wipe it with a cloth. The silicone is low-maintenance and dries quickly.
Does the mat fit any portafilter?
Yes. The mat is independent of basket size – it serves as the surface where you set down the portafilter and tamp.
Can I see the Tampmatte before I buy?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the product you have in mind is currently there.
A tip from our roastery
A clean, calm tamp pays off especially with full-bodied, sweet roasts. Our Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight taste round and are forgiving. For maximum body without acidity, the Very Nutty, for a fruity experience, the Wild Peach. That's our recommendation – one of many.
