Rhino Classic Tamping Mat – extra-thick corner mat
The portafilter settles in and finds its footing at once, while the counter beneath stays quiet – no clatter against stone or wood, no sliding, just a firm, protected spot for the moment right before the shot.
That's exactly what the Classic Tamping Mat in food-safe silicone is built for: extra thick to absorb pressure and weight, cut into a corner shape so it tucks neatly into your counter corner and creates a clearly defined spot for portafilter and tamper.

Who it's for
For everyone who wants a generous, protected tamping surface in the corner of their counter, instead of holding the portafilter freehand every time – at home or in a café. Whether the corner solution suits you or you'd rather use a continuous bench mat is a matter of taste. Our opinion is one of many.
What to pair it with
A tamping mat is usually the first thing you reach for, not the last. For everyone who wants a tamper that's affordable and precise: the Normcore Collection. Those who want more weight and precision feel can look at a tamper from the Weber Workshops Collection. And you'll find the matching espresso machine in our coffee machines.
Frequently asked questions
Can I wash it?
Yes, it's made of food-safe silicone and is dishwasher-safe.
What's the difference from the corner mat with a compartment?
This version offers a generous, extra-thick tamping surface in a corner shape, without a separate tamper or portafilter compartment.
What's the extra-thick surface for?
The added thickness cushions the pressure while tamping and protects your counter from scratches and knocks at the same time.
Can I see the mat before buying?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the product you have in mind is currently there.
A tip from our coffee roastery
A calm corner for the tamper is also a good place for a coffee that convinces from the first sip. Our Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight are full-bodied, dense, with chocolate and nut notes – our first choice for the large majority. Anyone who likes maximum body with no acidity at all reaches for Very Nutty; and for curious palates, there's Wild Peach a fruity experience waiting. That's our recommendation – one of many.
