Normcore Pressure Regulating Tamper V4.1 with Click
You press, feel the defined resistance, and then the soft click. An audible signal that tells you: the pressure is right. No guessing, no feeling day by day – just the confirmation that this tamp will be like the last one.
The V4.1 builds on the proven spring-loaded system and adds audible feedback at the pressure point.
What makes the V4.1 special
Tamping is the most invisible variable in espresso preparation. Your hand is never the same from day to day – sometimes stronger, sometimes more tired. The spring-loaded system eliminates this variable: a pre-calibrated spring always applies the same force once it triggers. New to the V4.1 is the click feedback, which audibly confirms this exact moment. This makes the tamp comparable from shot to shot, and that's precisely what helps with dialing in.
Three interchangeable springs are included – 15 lb, 25 lb, and 30 lb, with the medium one already installed. The handle is made of anodized aluminum, the base is stainless steel with a flat bottom, and the design carries a US design patent. Whether you prefer a tamper with a click over one without is a matter of taste – this is just our view, one of many.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Normcore Tamper V4.1
What does the click feedback do?
It audibly confirms the moment the spring releases and the calibrated force is reached. This way, you don't have to feel the pressure point; you hear it.
Which size fits my machine?
53.3 / 54 mm for Breville and Sage machines with 54mm portafilters. 58.5 mm for standard 58mm portafilters, such as La Marzocco, Rocket, ECM, Profitec, or Lelit.
Which spring should I use?
The medium 25-lb spring is pre-installed. 15 lb for finer grind and lighter roasts, 30 lb for stronger pressure and denser pucks. All three springs are included.
Can I see the tamper before buying?
Yes, in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). Online ordering is the primary method, with delivery throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein in 2 to 4 business days.
Roastery Tip
A comparable tamp shot for shot makes dialing in calmer. For dense, sweet espresso, we often reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you like it full-bodied and round without any acidity, stick with Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach goes into the grinder. This is our recommendation, one of many, and any bean you enjoy is the right one.
