xElevate Your Espresso with the Normcore V4.1 Tamper
The Normcore 58mm Coffee Tamper V4.1 brings a refined approach to tamping, designed for steady, repeatable results. Building on the acclaimed V4, this model adds an enhanced spring-loaded mechanism that delivers uniform pressure with each press. The audible click provides a crisp, tactile confirmation, helping you lock in the precise pressure needed for consistently balanced extraction across your favorite beans. The result can feel like a small ritual—focused, controlled, and satisfying—without promising guarantees of perfection every time.
In addition to performance, the tamper carries a distinctly modern silhouette, thanks to a US design patent. The combination of a robust 304 stainless steel flat base and an anodized black aluminum handle offers durability and a comfortable grip under busy service or long home sessions. The overall weight and balance are designed to feel natural in the hand, supporting a smooth, confident tamp.
Key design benefits

Real-world use and outcomes
Whether you’re a weekend home barista or a busy café pro, the V4.1 aims to support a confident workflow.
