Rocket Tamping Mat Flat – silicone base for tamping
The portafilter sits firmly, the work surface stays protected, and stray grounds stay on the mat. The flat tamping mat from Rocket Espresso is the base for the moment before the shot.
According to Rocket, the mat is made of thick, food-grade silicone in black and carries the Rocket stamp. It sits firmly on the work surface and gives the portafilter stability while tamping. A raised border keeps the work area clean.
Coffee Coaching Club is a partner of Rocket Espresso. Besides the flat version, Rocket makes an angled mat (Tamping Mat Angled), listed with us as Rocket Tamping Mat Angular – both in the Rocket Espresso collection.
