Living in Seattle I had an opportunity to lay hands on at least 15 tampers, and none felt as good as the one my friend had, which turns out to be this Vaneli.

Tamper is the heaviest I've used, and the end is nicely rounded so I have no problem pressing my full weight into it. Finish is like a mirror, the photo above shows it well. Tamper base is flat, size fits my expobar brewtus with <0.5mm on each side. Base is mirror polished, so you don't disturb the tamp by rotating the tamper.

Fit is so close that there's no room to tamp uncentered. Sides of base are the right depth that when I've got my proportions right the top of the tamper matches the top of the portafilter, so no more overfills.

Great feeling on a cold morning to pick this tamper up after its been sitting on the machine all night, its got huge thermal mass and radiates heat.

Using it is like applying one of those huge old venetian stamps the medici's were famous for.

I've no regrets, this is the tamper I was looking for. Glad my friend had one to show me. A coffee loving friend was skeptical when I told him I'd purchased a tamper he'd never heard of, but was raving about it when he left.

Description above says 23oz, thats a lot for such a small object. You could definately kill someone with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best 58mm Tamper You'll Find At Any Price!!!, February 16, 2007

This review is from: Vaneli's Solid Stainless Steel Tamper 58mm--2.28 inches (2 5/16")

I bought a KitchenAid Pro Line Espresso machine from Amazon at a great price. I love the machine, but in the box was the dinky $2 plastic undersized tamper. I had to trash it and buy a real tamper. The Vaneli's tamper is very solid (23 oz.), nicely finished and has a great balance to it, providing very level, even tamps. I like the fact that it's all stainless, no hardwood handles to split or break. Do yourself a favor, drop all other tampers and get this one. You won't be disappointed. Later!

Quality and workmanship are second to none. This tamp works perfectly with my Gaggia Classic. Talk about feel-good quality. This 1-piece tamp makes Reg Barbers look feeble in comparison for 1/2 the price.
