Normcore Tamper Base Waffle 58.5 mm
A grid instead of a flat surface. You screw the Waffle base onto your spring-loaded Normcore tamper, press – and a fine lattice of crossing grooves imprints into the puck, spread tightly across the whole surface.
An interchangeable tamper base with a Waffle pattern of crossing grooves, made for the spring-loaded Normcore tamper of the V4 series.
What makes the Waffle base special
The Waffle base presses its pattern as a tight lattice of crossing grooves – much like a waffle iron, only for the puck. The many small cells spread the water finely across the whole surface and support even, controlled 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 the grid of the Waffle base, the ring structure of the Ripple base, or a flat base comes down to taste, and that's only our view, one of many.

Roastery Tip
A base with a fine lattice structure helps spread the water evenly across the whole 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.
