Professional baristas who prepare upwards of 100 shots a day are all too
familiar with tamping fatigue. Poor form strains the wrist, while a more
ergonomic approach requires an awkward and inconvenient position. A classic
handle is set perpendicular to the base—forcing a near-hyperextension of the
wrist—but is this "one-angle-fits-all" design really the route to go? Imagine a
tool that is tailored to your size, style, and setting. Enter the Prima Tamper.
With a pivoting handle that adjusts to accommodate any user in any context,
the Prima Tamper encourages natural form and effective technique, tamp
after tamp. The curved base is a beaut to behold and a delight to use, and is
fashioned to fit 58-millimeter and VST baskets. Prima proudly presents its
flagship tamper, developed by coffee nerds and made with American materials
in Louisville, Ky.
