5.0 out of 5 stars Tamps well January 11, 2008

I have a DeLonghi EC155 and the smaller size fits very nicely for tamping. It is able to hold over 50 lbs of pressure with no problem. I used the tamping method from Good Eats, where you put 50lbs of pressure, then twist.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it's supposed to do September 17, 2007

I have looked everywhere for a tamper that would fit Saeco Aroma for a sensible price, but 53mm tampers were either too expensive or just unavailable. Although this one doesn't fit properly, the small end of it covers about 90% of the basket. Overall, I'm happy with it. It's a temporary solution. Tamper brand or construction is not a huge variable in the resulting quality of an espresso shot. You might at well use something out of the hardware store as long as it tamps the loose grounds well enough. This is why I am skeptical of tampers that cost 50-100 dollars. If RSVP Terry tamper fits your basket's proportions you should consider it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too cheap to be true December 15, 2011

Bought it to use wih my DeLonghi EC155 espresso maker. Worked fine but finish is really crappy, some mystery shiny plating over a crummy cast metal. Returned it when it started to flake metal particles. Instead I got the RSVP SS tamper for $14.95 which is worlds better of solid SS.
