NormcoreEspresso Tamping Station, Natural American Walnut Coffee Tamper Station Base Holder Stand for 54/58mm Portafilter, Tamper, and Distributor, Puck Screen Espresso Accessories

It's an excellent addition to my coffee station and I love the premium finish of the wood. It has a solid heft to it which allows it to be very stable during tamping. What's a bit awkward is that the Normcore 58mm flat portafilter for E61 machines doesn't actually like completely flat in the tamping station. It slants downwards towards the handle instead, but it's not a dealbreaker since I'm still getting a really solid tamp out of it.

Looks great in my home coffee station. Love the wood accent and would purchase again.

I purchased this espresso station for my coffee bar featuring a Lelit Bianca v3. Since I didn't have much space for the machine, grinder, and room to prepare my pucks. This Normcore station was a perfect fit with a cut-out for tamping, which fits my Lelit 58mm portafilter perfectly. It also has cut-outs for my Normcore spring-loaded tamper, gravity distribution tool, coffee brushes, and two puck screens.The wood is sturdy, beautiful, and matches our design perfectly.Highly recommended

Purchased this to help organize my tools, but the tamping station just didn’t work for my needs, hence the 4 stars. The way the tamping holder is designed, the portafilter sits on top of the rubber piece, so when you place an angled bottomless PF down, it just wants to fall out. And no, you can’t remove the rubber inserts because the PF won’t be level. I almost sent this back, but the rest of the station held exactly what I needed for my workflow and the quality was solid. So, I decided to remove the tamping station router out the top 3/16” to accommodate my scale and just use the former tamping area for filter storage. Now I use a dedicated tamping station (also ECM) that holds all my PFs securely. Some may be thinking “why would you carve into a $100 storage block like this?” Well, I liked the quality, look and there were no unnecessary storage slots I wouldn’t use. It just made it work better (for me at least). If you’re using a portafilter with a spout, I’m sure this will work for you. However, if your daily driver is an angled bottomless, keep looking.

Great product. Exactly as described.

This item is aesthetically beautiful and appears well made but the design is mind-numbingly stupid.Its entire purpose is to hold your portafilter securely for tamping and prep, yet fails miserably that one function.No matter how you seat the portafilter, it will not be level with the table, and it will constantly want to slide off the slippery, down-angled rubber mat.I tried with both a bottomless ECM portafilter and a spouted Profitec portafilter, neither worked correctly.The section of the wood body that makes contact with the portafilter already had several scuffs on it from just a few uses.Definitely returning.

I have a solid collection of Normcore items and this is a great addition to the home barista set. A lot of tamping/storage stations are square, including the other one I've used for awhile which I replaced with this. I prefer this one due to it being slender and making better use of space alongside my espresso machine.As a station, it works great and supports the portafilter well with some nice silicone inserts to adjust for the different bottoms. The slots/holes are good, but I do wish the slots were a little deeper as I only see them for holding puck filters and as you can see in my pic, the white filter (getting low, normally a handful there) only works as it leans on my cabinets. The reusable puck screens have two slots and work well, just wish this extra wide slot was deeper. Overall though, still A+

The media could not be loaded. Love everything about this tamping station.
