Normcore Tamperbase Waffle 58.5 mm
A new base, a new feel: you screw the waffle base onto your spring-loaded Normcore tamper, press – and the base imprints a fine waffle pattern into the puck, opening a more even path for the water.
An interchangeable tamper base with a waffle pattern, made for the spring-loaded Normcore tamper of the V4 series.
What makes the waffle base special
Instead of a perfectly flat surface, the waffle base imprints a light structure into the coffee bed. This texture allows for controlled water flow and a more even saturation of the grounds – reducing the risk of a donut extraction. The base is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel and swaps onto the spring-loaded Normcore tamper. Whether you prefer a waffle, a ribbed, or a flat base comes down to taste, and that's only our view, one of many.

Roastery Tip
A textured base helps guide the water more calmly through the bed. For a dense, sweet espresso, we like to reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you like it full and round without any acidity, stick with Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach goes into the grinder. That's our recommendation, one of many, and whichever bean tastes right to you is the right one.
