It is an expensive tamper compared to most but is it excellent quality. Comes with different springs to adjust the tamp pressure- I stuck with the pre installed one and it is perfect. Fits sage machine perfectly and performs as expected. Would recommend.

This is built like a tank and helps me achieve a level tamp each time, effortlessly. Yes, it’s more expensive than an inexpensive conventional tamper, but it’s worth the price difference based on product quality and how well and easily it performs the task at hand. It comes with three springs, each associated with a different level of pressure, however, I found that all that is needed is the smallest / lightest and job’s done without any fuss. Easy to disassemble and easy to clean. I would recommend.

Expensive but it feels like a high quality item in the hand, good weight to it and the mechanism works very well for a nice consistent tamp. Fits all my 58mm portfilters perfectly (as you'd expect) and looks very smart in my little coffee corner. The only minor negative note (hence the docked star) is that coffee can find its way between the tamper and the body of the device which is a bit of a pain to clean. Not a major issue but enough of an inconvenience that it's worth mentioning.

A solid, fantastic quality looking tamper. Feels really nice in the hand and tamps coffee well. Heavy and easy to clean. Would recommend.

I bought this tamper for £37 in October 2024. I was holding off buying one for ages, as I felt it was too expensive for a coffee tamper. Having tried (and returned) other cheaper options, I can say this is indeed worth it. It gives a consistent flat tamp (not angled as the cheaper ones). It has a solid quality feel to it. Perfect fit for the Sage Barista Express. Definitely buy it if you don’t mind the cost.

Feels solid and looks elegant. Also very easy to use.

So I'm unsure how I feel about this tamper. First off, it's beautifully built, solid and well made with a pleasing weight. Coffee does tend to stick to the tamper base, not sure if there is coatings on my other tampers that stop this, but it seems worse on the Normcore. The issue I have though with this tamper is that it is NOT a calibrated tamper, or a tamper that tamps to a pressure. Using an 18g VST basket the tamper will bottom out before you feel any feedback to know you're tamping to a pressure, such as a click on the (much more expensive) Force Tamper. The tamper does come with 3 more springs but they don't actually serve any extra function than to make your tamping process require more or less force. At the end of the day the results are in the taste of not one espresso, but of multiple espressos. The tamper does tamp the coffee bed perfectly level and to a known pressure, so the results are repeatable and also, in my opinion, excellent. As mentioned using a 18g VST basket, combined with a DF64 grinder and a Legit Mara X, I can make one espresso after another after another and they all give the same flavour profile and extraction time. If you're after a good value tamper which gives repeatable results, this will give you that. If you're looking for a good value version of The Force Tamper with a calibrated click to know you're tamping the same pressure, this is not the tamper for you. As I say, mixed feelings, but going by the taste of my favourite drink, it's a good tamper, just misleadingly advertised.

It perfectly tamps down onto an IMS basket without leaving any powder on the sides of the basket.

Expensive tool but the quality is great!

A close to perfect and Reliable tamper
