MOTTA flat tamper "NONSTICK black" 58 mm – stainless steel flat base, made in Italy
Matte black, no shine to distract you – and a nonstick base that lets the coffee grounds release especially cleanly. Simple and functional.
The NONSTICK flat tamper in black with a nonstick stainless steel base.
What makes this tamper
The flat stainless steel base presses the coffee grounds level, so the water flows evenly through the puck instead of finding a quick way through. The raised rim, about two centimetres high, sits centred on the 58 mm portafilter without shifting as you press, and the handle unscrews for cleaning. The tamper is made in Italy – Metallurgica Motta has been building tools like this since 1967.
An even tamp is the foundation for an even extraction – and that, in turn, for a drink that tastes good. Which look you hold in your hand is a matter of taste: the function is the same across every variant, the design is yours to choose. Nobody needs a particular pattern – you want it, or you don't. Our opinion is just one of many.

Frequently asked questions
Which portafilter size does the tamper fit?
58 mm portafilters. The raised rim sits centred and doesn't shift as you press.
What does the nonstick base do?
Damp coffee grounds release more easily from the coated base, which keeps the tamper cleaner. The handle unscrews for cleaning.
Flat or convex – what's the difference?
A flat base tamps the grounds level, a convex one presses more towards the centre. There's no right or wrong – many people prefer the flat base for an even tamp. In the end, what matters is that the cup tastes good.
Can I see the tamper in person before buying?
Very much so. In our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can experience it live. Online we deliver within 2–4 working days, throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
A tip from our coffee roastery
A tamped puck like this deserves full-bodied beans. Our Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight bring notes of chocolate and nuts. For maximum body without any acidity, try the Very Nutty, for a fruity experience, the Wild Peach. That's our recommendation – one of many.
