MOTTA Flat Tamper "Wood" 58 mm – Stainless Steel Flat Base, made in Italy
Warm brown wood rests comfortably in your hand, and with a straight press, the flat base settles evenly on the puck. Nature meets precise tool.
The "Wood" flat tamper with a brown wooden handle.
What makes this tamper special
The flat stainless steel base presses the coffee grounds evenly, ensuring that water flows through the puck consistently instead of finding a quick path. The high rim, approximately two centimeters, centers itself on the 58mm portafilter without slipping during pressing, and the handle can be unscrewed for cleaning. The tamper is made in Italy – Metallurgica Motta has been building such tools since 1967.
Even compaction is the foundation for consistent extraction – and that, in turn, for a delicious drink. What 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 – one wants it. Our opinion is one of many.

Frequently Asked Questions
What portafilter size does the tamper fit?
For 58mm portafilters. The high rim centers itself and does not slip when pressing.
What material is the handle made of?
The handle is made of brown wood, the base of stainless steel. It is best to only wipe wooden handles with a damp cloth instead of soaking them.
Flat or convex – what's the difference?
A flat base compacts the grounds evenly, a convex one more towards the center. There is no right or wrong – many prefer the flat base for even compaction. Ultimately, what matters is that the cup tastes good.
Can I see the tamper in person before buying?
Absolutely. You can experience it live in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). Online, we deliver in 2–4 business days, throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
Tip from our coffee roastery
An evenly tamped puck deserves full-bodied beans. Our Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight bring chocolate and nut notes. For maximum body without acidity, try Very Nutty, for a fruity experience, Wild Peach. This is our recommendation – one of many.
