MOTTA Flat Tamper "Flower" 58 mm - Stainless Steel Flat Base, Made in Italy
A delicate floral pattern adorns the handle – a friendly eye-catcher on the counter, while the flat base beneath evenly presses the grounds.
The "Flower" flat tamper with aluminum handle in a floral pattern.
What makes this tamper special
The flat stainless steel base compresses the coffee grounds evenly so that the water flows through the puck consistently instead of finding a quick path. The high rim of about two centimeters sits centrally on the 58mm portafilter, preventing it from slipping when pressed, and the handle can be unscrewed for cleaning. The tamper is made in Italy – Metallurgica Motta has been manufacturing such tools since 1967.
Even compaction is the foundation for even extraction – and that, in turn, for a great-tasting drink. The look you hold in your hand is a matter of taste: the function is the same for all variants, you choose the design. Nobody needs a specific pattern – you want it. Our opinion is one of many.

Tip from our Coffee Roastery
An evenly tamped puck deserves full-bodied beans. Our Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight offer chocolate and nutty notes. For maximum body without acidity, try Very Nutty, and for a fruity experience, Wild Peach. This is our recommendation – one of many.
