CREMA Coffee Products 45.5mm Hand Tamper & Distributor V2 for Flair | Compatible with Pro and Pro 2 Portafilter | Double-Sided, Adjustable Depth Tool|Made with Durable 304 Stainless Steel|Rose Gold

This is such a good quality product. It has changed the way I make espresso for the better! It has a really nice weight to it. Distributes the coffee evenly and tempers nicely. Genuinely feels expensive and high quality. Also it being a two in one tool is amazing, not an extra item taking up space. It fits well with the breville bambino plus portafilter. I normally never leave reviews but this was a game changer for me, had to let everyone know.

Prior to this I was getting pretty good results using separate leveling and tamping tools, and probably would've never thought to get anything else. My tamper was pretty standard (decent upgrade from what came with my espresso machine), but the leveler was a Motta. Unfortunately the leveler fell off the top of my grinder onto an espresso mug, which put two barbs in the rim that made it uncomfortable to handle. After confirming Motta didn't sell just a replacement handle, I started shopping one-piece tools. I liked the all-silver yet understated look of this one. Compared to having separate tools, it's nice to only have the one footprint to deal with in your setup. Also the leveler and tamper depths are adjustable, so once tuned to your bean/grind, they do the same thing every time. I left the leveler setting as-is but put a little more depth on the tamper side. It gives a satisfying sink when compressing the grounds after leveling and a nice polish. I'm not exacting enough to where I weigh out the beans or grounds but am used to how much grind goes in the portafilter, and am getting more consistent results finishing with this tool. Shots come out with no noticeable difference every time, whereas before, some would pull faster than others. Really like the look, functionality, and simplicity of this tool. Also the 58.5mm is a perfect fit for my Gaggia Classic Pro.

It’s immediately clear that this is well made and of high quality. Its high density feels great. It fits perfectly in the Flair Classic basket. I will probably have this tamper for decades!

Does the job, good weight to the item , pretty heavy which helps press the coffee further, good quality product, cut one star coz its a bit pricey. Otherwise quite a sturdy item.

I have been using a Breville Barista Express for about a year now. I have gotten pretty decent at tamping with the built-in tamper, but there is still occasional variation in my shots (pressure, time to extract, etc). Figured this tool would help me fine tune so that I could dial-in and pull my espresso shots more consistently. Let me just say that it didn’t just help a little - it helped a LOT! I weigh out the desired amount of espresso in the portafilter, using a digital scale for accuracy. Then this tool helps me distribute in the portafilter and tamp to a consistent depth every single time. There is no guesswork anymore and here is what has happened... my extraction time, extraction pressure, and weight of pulled shots are all very consistent. I had to use the tool for a few days and fine tune the depth of the tamp to work with my grind setting and weight of espresso. Now that I have it all set, my shots are repeatable within 0.5 - 1.0 grams, which was impossible for me to do manually. The espresso has lots of crema and taste is very consistent too. Overall this is very well made, feels incredibly solid (it is heavy), and I see huge improvements in the consistency of my shots. Definitely worth the price.

Its expensive but i love it, feels heavy but the most important thing is the consistency in crema i have now. For a long time i was evaluating this thing, i am now a believer. i have a breville with grinder integrated. i opted for this option vs other cheaper options because it was designed for breville baskets as long as i understood. Just a few tweeks 5 or 6 times until you got the desired results, remember little crema maybe means not enough pressure, or like happened to me using the one that breville provide with the machine do not damp even with leads to inconsistency in crema.

After dealing with traditional hand tapers for 20 years, this thing has been amazing. It is always difficult to get perfectly tamped grounds, but with this unit, you level the grounds with one side, then get a perfectly level tamp with the other side. The metal collar hits your portafilter for the perfect depth and levelness. Plus, this thing is an absolute beast, so you can use it as a weapon during a zombie apocalypse or home intrusion..

I am absolutely thrilled with this espresso distributor cap! The build quality is outstanding – it is solid and has a heavy weight to it, providing a premium, durable feel. The aesthetics are great, love the knurled grip. It performs flawlessly. It evenly distributes the grounds, ensuring a consistent and professional extraction every time. If you’re looking for a high-quality, functional, and stylish espresso distributor, this one definitely delivers. Highly recommended!

Muy bonito y cómodo, una vez que ajustas el distribuidor (la parte ondulada) y el tampeador (la parte plana) a la medida que necesitas (se ajusta girándolo, y dará una altura mayor o menor, respecto al porta filtros) te permite que todos tus cafés sean tampeados uniformemente y te salga la misma presión de café. Lo recomiendo mucho, aparte esta bonito y si es muy funcional.

Nicht ganz billig, aber weltweit der einzige Hersteller, der Durchmesser 39,25mm anbietet. Hervorragend geeignet für FLAIR Espresso Classic, Neo, Signature mit Siebdurchmesser 40mm. Die minimale Einstelltiefe ist unter Umständen zu groß; man kann sich jedoch sehr einfach mit einer Unterlegscheibe (DIN 125) für Schraube M 39 behelfen. Funktioniert perfekt: exaktes, homogenes Befüllen des Siebträgers, gleichmäßiges Tampen, perfekte Extraktion, kein Channeling.

by far the only 45.5 2 in one tamper available.

Much neater than the A$20 Amazon equivalent; 53.3 is different to 53! It goes even better with a generic puck screen; an IMS 14-18g (24mm) precision basket; and a self-made WDT with 3D printer nozzle cleaning needles (0.4mm) - almost a guarantee of no channeling!

Tengo una flair y funciona perfecto, te da una consistencia en tus pastillas, me gusto.
