This small version takes up 140 × 125 mm of your worktop. Measure beforehand to make sure that space is free.

The silicone underside helps keep the mat in place on a clean, dry work surface.

The corner rests on a suitable, clear edge of the worktop, allowing you to support your filter holder in a fixed position.

According to the supplier, you can rinse the mat or clean it in the dishwasher. Dry it thoroughly afterwards.

Do you recognize this when tamping?

You want to tamp the ground coffee down firmly, but in a small coffee corner there isn't always room for a large tamping station. Tamping on a smooth countertop also doesn't feel pleasant.

  • Your filter holder slides

    When tamping, your portafilter sits on the bare worktop and sometimes slides along with it. You need a clear place to support it.

  • Coffee on your desk

    After grinding, coffee grounds are left on the countertop. You would rather collect them on a defined, easy-to-clean surface.

  • You have little space

    Next to your grinder and espresso machine, there’s little counter space left. A large mat takes up more room than you need for a single tamp.

A compact tamping area at the edge

Place the small black silicone mat with the corner over a suitable countertop edge. Set your filter holder down firmly and check that the mat lies flat. This creates a dedicated area for tamping ground coffee; the mat does not tamp for you.

Does this mat fit your workspace?

A flat, dry area measuring at least 140 × 125 mm, with clear space on the worktop. Check that the corner can hang freely and that a drawer does not obstruct it.

What exactly do you get?

You receive one small black silicone tamper mat with a corner for over the countertop edge. The working surface measures 140 × 125 mm. A portafilter, tamper and coffee are not included.

Do you need extra space? Then the large black tamper mat with corner of 150 × 205 mm is an option available separately.

Why a separate place to tamp?

If you place your filter holder directly on the counter, coffee and water can be left on the worktop. A silicone mat provides a separate surface, and the angle helps support the filter holder. Place it on a clean, dry surface; non-slip properties do not guarantee that a poorly supported filter holder will never shift.

Don't have any free counter edge? Then check out the flat black tamping mat as another workspace option.

Measure your worktop and check that the edge is clear.

Frequently asked questions about the small tamper mat

How big is the small black tamper mat?

The working surface measures 140 × 125 mm. Measure that space on your worktop and see if the corner can hang freely over the edge. The hanging side is not separately dimensioned by the supplier.

Can the mat be placed on any countertop edge?

No. Check your own work surface. A heavily rounded edge or a drawer under the edge could get in the way. Only place your filter holder down once the mat is stable.

Does my filter holder always stay in place?

We're here to help you get the most out of your water sports adventures. Below, you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

How do I clean the black silicone mat?

Wipe away loose coffee grounds and rinse the mat. Barista Essentials states that it is also dishwasher-safe. Dry the mat and worktop before continuing.

When should I choose the large tamper mat?

Choose the large version if you want more workspace for your filter holder and additional tools. It measures 150 × 205 mm; the small one measures 140 × 125 mm.

Small black tamper mat measuring 140 × 125 mm

Do you want a separate place on a small worktop to tamp espresso? This black silicone tamper mat has a corner that hangs over the edge of the counter. The 140 × 125 mm work surface provides space for your portafilter. Check that the edge is clear and that your portafilter can rest securely.

Use a suitable tamper, for example the black 49 mm tamper if your portafilter basket really has a 49 mm internal diameter. For more space, there is the large black tamper mat.

Does 140 × 125 mm fit your worktop?

Measure your available counter space and check if the corner fits over the edge. Then take a look at the small black version and its current availability at Barista Essentials.
