58.5mm Espresso Coffee Tamper V4 - Titanium PVD Coating Ripple Base - Spring Loaded Tamper - 15lb / 25lb / 30lbs Replacement Springs - Anodized Aluminum Handle and Stand

Great product, looks professional, feels durable and functions well, consistently. For the price it's great to have peace of mind knowing this is one variable to not worry about in making espresso.

I was a fan of Normcore products and expected a great experience just like how previous ones were. Very disappointed to receive a used product with coffee grounds all over the place. As kitchenware which is supposed to be clean and food-safe, I cannot tolerate this and will look for other brands. (Update) Shortly after I wrote this review, Normcore contacted me and offered to replace the used product that I initially received. I was really impressed by their customer service. Normcore isn't a company who only cares about famous Youtubers. They listen to real customers who spend hard earned money to buy their products. This tamper is very well made. It compresses the puck perfectly flat and leaves very little coffee grounds on the interior wall of the basket. Night and day difference from the Breville tamper. Titanium coating doesn't 100% eliminate the need of cleaning but it helps. It actually has a different ribbed sidewall compared to non-coated ones. I believe this feature reduces vacuum and prevents the puck to be deformed when lifting the tamper from the basket. Using Normcore v3 WDT and this v4 Tamper, I was able to completely eliminate bottomless portafilter spraying espresso (channeling). Only a minor thing that I would suggest Normcore consider for their v5 tamper development would be the bigger surface at the top of the handle. It would reduce the pressure to the palm.

I still use this multiple times per day. Well built, feels solid and definitely worth the price.

Works great. I have trouble being even with the standard tamper. My sone suggested this one and I love it. I use it every day to make my latte.

Great Tamp, fits perfectly and being spring loaded takes the guess work out.

Excellent product ! I already got a Normcore 51mm Bottomless Portafilter which this tamper fits perfectly. Feels very stable, good weight and looks and feels really solid too !

All jokes aside, phenomenal tamper. The build quality is top notch and you’ll be so so happy you got this. I’ve used tons of tampers in my career with coffee(owning own coffee business, barista, etc) and this thing just works. I love how easy it is to just be consistent and not have to worry. Very easy to have consistent and beautiful shots. It’s one less thing to have to worry about. It sits flat on the portafilter so you don’t have to worry about tamping all wonky. Only small gripes are as you can see coffee does get stuck in the grooves but I use the brush from my fellow ode to clean out real quick. Also I did wish it clicked like the force tamper does but that’s just me being snobby. Either way, normcore have really shown why they are such a reliable brand to choose for anything. You’ll be happy you chose this over some Amazon brand The built quality is

Perfection. I love that it comes with three different springs for 15 lb, 25 lb and 30 lb pressure.

It looks nice and extraction is better now

La calidad me encantó, se siente pesado, llevo algunos meses y sigue como nuevo, por la calidad esperaria un precio más alto. Soy fan de Normcore

Perfect and steady. Always the right pressure. Good solid build quality
