Coffee Distributor

Well made and a great design. After having tried another big brand distributor that didn’t work well for me, I found this one that works perfectly with Breville 54mm double walled baskets. It offers a minimal adjustment I was needing to evenly distribute without hard pressing before the tamp.

I’ve had this for years and it’s great. It levels out my grounds perfectly before tamping is very repeatable. I enjoy the ability to adjust the leveling depth to ensure the grounds are perfectly spread regardless of grounds.

This tamper is very easy to use and has a perfect weight thanks to the stainless steel build. It evenly tamps the espresso puck, and the 53.3mm fit works flawlessly with my Breville Espresso machine. The puck prep I’m able to achieve has noticeably improved the taste of my espresso. The sleek design is modern, durable, and looks great on my coffee bar.

Another good tool from Normcore works great

I work in espresso professionally and got this as a tester for ergonomic purposes. It does its job as a tamper and does level with little dusting from it being 58.5mm. The self leveling does work. However depending on my baskets (using vst now) it will.self level where the lowest part of the puck is handle side and highest.part opposite. Not an issue with the tamp but something to be mindful of. Works perfectly well on my gaggia setup...not so much commercial grade. The spring is adequate but i tend to tamp a bit harder on heavy weather days.. Build quality is fine but i would have rather used a regular style tamper. Also palm tampers pretty much need to be self leveling based on the ergonomic nature.

Works exactly as described. Can be a bit heavy but otherwise it is a premium built product. If you have too much coffee in your basket and they're near the rim of it, coffee can get stuck to the sides of the distributor. A little annoying but easily remedied by brushing the grounds back into the basket or by "flattening" the coffee grounds in the basket first prior to distributing.

Fits my Gemilai portafilter perfectly. Works as expected, but can be slightly unlevel in tamping. Has a tendency to push the coffee down more on the handle side of the basket. I try to make sure I apply pressure in the middle of the tamper and it seems to make all the difference.

The product is good, I was sent a was clearly looks to be a used product with scuffs on it and some rust, I can clean that up and for what it does, it'll do, just weird to receive a used product.

Tenía mis dudas sobre gastar en un tamper de gama más alta pero estoy bastante satisfecho, es pesado y tiene un "click" muy agradable al hacer presión.

Had this for a while now, really like Normcore products as they are well built and reasonably priced. I prefer the V wedge shape here vs the fan shape, I feel the V wedge is better for distributing coffee as the V basically does not compress much coffee when you put it on the portafilter, as it has limited surface area. I feel the fan shaped tools compress too much of the coffee. Great tool, well built and well priced. Highly recommended.

Gran herramienta ya sea para una barra de café o para los Baristas en casa ya que funciona muy bien y reduce el rango de error al momento de compactar el café.
