Normcore 45.5mm Coffee Tamper - Spring-Loaded Tamper – Barista Tools - Espresso Tamper with Mat Fits Flair Pro and Pro 2 – Flat Base…

This is the best pressurised tamper I’ve had. It really feels like a quality item. It has a nice weight to it and is comfortable to use. It performs so well and has definitely improved my espressos. It’s solid in your hand giving great confidence. The spring which it comes fitted with and which I haven’t changed has just enough pressure. The flange, that sits nicely on the rim of the basket, allows the ground coffee to be flattened/tampered evenly which is really good. I really wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it is or deliver such excellent results. No problems recommending it at all. So glad I decided to go for it.

Feels great to use and gets good pressure. Can get stick a bit if your puck prep isn't right but it's extremely easy to use. And looks great

Easy to use, well built and repeatable. Flat tamp every time, easily grabs the lip of the basket, snug fit on standard 58mm basket. Decent little stand for the tamper, 3 springs. Thing is heavy, built like a tank and does the job well.

Pros: tamps consistently; has a level plate to ensure you get straight levelled tamp, near zero edge tolerance, has a base when not in use & comes with other pressure springs.Cons: i found some grounds stick to the tamper; some grounds get stuck between tamper and the levelled plate and you may need a degree in DIY to figure the pressure of extra springs as they do not indicate which is which.Wish it had a click mechanism so you know when you reached the pressure required like other tampers do but those are normally twice the price so with my level of coffee experience (about 8 years) I am happy.Overall: do buy it! Go for it! It improves your consistency massively almost immediately. Good value. Do recommend you rinse well and wash the base plate before use as found a harsh metal/lubricant smell. I wrote this review about 3 months after first use.

It's difficult, nigh on impossible to build up the consistency of a barista working at a busy coffee shop, especially if (like me) you limit yourself to one coffee per day before setting off to work, and occasionally have three across a whole weekend. So my tamping (like my latte art) was more miss than hit. After much deliberation I bought the Normcore V4 and what a revelation! What a lovely presentation box it came in, but looks aside, it appears to be incredibly well made with a choice of three spring-loaded tamping adjustments. It also feels good in the hand being neither too small (like my Sage tamper) or too large. But at last I now have the tamping consistency to remove one of the (many) variables to making a decent tasting coffee. For me, the Normcore V4 is an essential tool, just as a calculator is essential to someone doing calculus.

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.

This is simply the best tamper I've ever used and my coffee shots are now much more stable and repeatable.Yes the tamper is expensive but the choices of spring tension and its operation are outstanding.

It's unreal. Fits my 58mm breville portafiler perfectly - unlike the tamper that comes with the machine. All my pucks are completely level now and I've consistent pressure being applied with every tamp, which is game changing for consistency overall.I can now dial my coffee in much quicker.This leaves zero coffee grounds on the walls of the portafilter. No more 2nd tamps needed.Nice design and weight to it too. I also haven't tried the other springs out yet, the default one in it has been working a charm so far.

Ease of Use ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:The self-leveling feature makes tamping effortless, removing the guesswork and ensuring a flat, even tamp with minimal effort.Functionality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:The adjustable pressure feature, with the extra springs, is an innovative touch that adds value.Build Quality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:The tamper feels solid and durable, with a premium build.Value for Money ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:For the features and quality provided, this tamper is worth every penny. It’s a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to elevate their espresso game.

Me permite comprimir el café de una manera perfecta, se ajusta muy bien a las canastas de ni breville bambino

recently purchased a Breville Bambino and i must say that the included tamper while it did work was severely lacking. The included tamper on the larger and more expensive Express and others is definitely better but this Normcore is a quality piece that puts them to shame. I wanted this model and i did waffle over some cheaper knockoffs but in the end I spent more and bought this V4. So glad i did. I just didn’t trust the build quality of cheaper tools and I’ve been disappointed before and said nope gonna get the tool I wanted. So glad i did. The tool itself works perfectly right out if box. The included tamper had quite a bit of room around the outside leaving crumbly bits around the edges. The V4 fit my 54 IMS basket perfectly and gave a easy clean tamp. You can see in my photos how much cleaner the V4 is and very little residual espresso grounds left. Didn’t want to spend the $$ but this was a worthwhile tool that should last a long time. If you have a substandard tamper this is a good solid choice.
