xPrecision tamping with Normcore: the 58mm Spring-Loaded Coffee Tamper
The Normcore 58mm Coffee Tamper is designed for steady, repeatable pressure and a clean, level surface. Built around a refined central shaft, this V4 model channels pressure directly to the coffee grounds for improved control. The 58mm size fits standard baskets, while the anodized aluminum handle and stainless steel flat base blend durability with a comfortable feel in hand.
What makes this tamper stand out is the level tamping system. A leveling plate rests on the filter basket rim as you press, helping you achieve an even surface every time. This isn’t just about consistency; it’s about a tactile experience: the firm grip, the smooth glide, and the confidence of a tamp that feels balanced from start to finish.
The tamper ships with interchangeable springs to suit your preferred pressure. The setup includes a 30lb spring, a 25lb spring already installed, and a 15lb option. You can swap springs to vary the tamping feel, allowing you to explore how different pressures may influence extraction dynamics, all without complicated adjustments.
Depth control is straightforward: press and rotate clockwise as you tamp to help form a level, compact puck. This thoughtful motion can feel intuitive whether you’re dialing in at home or managing a busy cafe workflow. The included stand keeps the tool at hand, upright, and ready for the next shot, while the metal construction promises longevity with regular use.
