IKAPE 58.3MM Ace Transparent Espresso Coffee Tamper, Premium Barista Coffee Tamper with Calibrated Spring Loaded, 100% Flat Stainless Steel Base Tamper for Espresso Machine(New Upgrade)

Build quality is great and it’s helped me create a consistent puck . The weight is good and I think for what I paid it was way above worth it. When I ordered it was at 19 and I think if I had to pay full price I totally would.The only complaint is the vacuum seal it can create. But if you twist as you pull it out it’s fine

Works well. Fits my 51mm portafilter without issue.

This tool looks great! And it works very well too. I gave 4 stars because it doesn't perform smooth every time. Sometimes it feels scratchy, as something is grinding inside. But otherwise it does it job well.

It is over all good tamper. It has a good build quality and nice weight. The tamping part is thick which can be good and bad at the same time. The good is how heavy it is and makes tamping easy. It works well and gives consistent tamping weight. I like the design at the bottom and how it makes the puck looks. The color is cool and adds to the flair of my set up. It’s also a great value at the price I paid.The bad is that it is too thick sometimes that it won’t let the tamper sit flat at the lip of the basket and won’t allow me to tamp flat which will lead to uneven tamp and extraction. Solution would be to have less coffee or bigger basket but that created its own issues with dialing in and caused more problems than the tamper is supposed to solve. (You can see in the picture how thick the bottom is compared to another tamper I had for demonstration)TLDR suggestion is to make the tamping area at the bottom less thick. Otherwise everything else is great.Edit: contacted the manufacturer for clarification to see if they can help or give insight on that but customer service just said to buy a 53 mm basket and didn’t acknowledge the issue or offer a fix. So there is that.

The media could not be loaded. I got this to help me tamp my coffee more consistently. This has been great for that. It has a really cool look with the clear handle. Some of these pop when you reach the stop, but this one does not. But I got a good feel for the stop pretty quickly. It's also nice it has a ridge around the outside so you can see if the tamper is level. Only complaint I have is there is some drag/squeaking starting to develop. So I'm not 100% confident in the longevity.

This was the first accessory to the espresso machine I just purchased. My bro who has been telling me for ages to start making espresso was super jealous when I showed him this tamper. It works well & looks great in my setup!

I have some equipments from IKAPE and they are always a good quality. This one is also good quality with futuristic design. It has relatively strong tension compared to my other tampers with spring tensions. I am not sure if this one has the right tension or other ones have right tension, but it works well. It definitely has a very good quality and feels premium.

Not a professional tamper, ok for home use with some quirks. Completely functional.Can squeak, can be just a smidge too large and create a seal so you have to twist it off out of your tamped filter cup.Looks neat. If this is some something you are comparing to any others, I'd go with a cheaper one or a nicer one at the same price.
