Motta Stainless Steel Tamping Station – Heavy Pressing Stand, Made in Italy
The portafilter rests in the recess, you press the tamper down – and the heavy stainless steel station doesn’t give a millimetre. Firm counter-pressure, a steady hand, a clean puck.
A tamping station by Metallurgica Motta in high-quality stainless steel with an elegant design.
What Makes It Special
Its high stability gives you the perfect counter-pressure when tamping – the portafilter stays steady and you work straight down from above. The recess suits portafilters of any size, and the station protects the work surface underneath. Made from high-quality stainless steel, made in Italy. Our opinion is one of many.

Roastery tip
A stable tamping station is half the battle – the other half is the bean in your basket. For most people, we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight from our roastery – dense, aromatic, full-bodied. For maximum body without acidity, Very Nutty is a good fit; for a fruity experience, as a side note, Wild Peach. Our recommendation is one of many.
