Thumping directly on your counter?

Your portafilter, tamper and ground coffee come together in the same place every morning. A flat tray helps protect your countertop and keeps your tamping area tidy.

  • Your worksheet gets ticks

    When tamping, your tamper sometimes comes into direct contact with the worktop. You don't want to risk scratching the countertop.

  • The filter holder slides

    On a smooth work surface, your portafilter slides away easily, just when you want to tamp calmly and in a controlled manner.

  • Coffee beans are spreading

    When filling, ground coffee spills next to your filter holder and spreads across the counter.

A solid surface for tamping

My advice: start with a stable tamping surface. This flat silicone mat has a non-slip surface and a raised edge. Do pay attention to how your portafilter is supported; the mat does not replace a separate support for fragile spouts.

Who is this mat useful for?

For home baristas who tamp on their kitchen counter, have limited space, and are looking for a flat, easy-to-remove surface.

What exactly do you get?

You receive one flat black silicone tamping mat measuring 20 Γ— 15 cm with a raised edge. A tamper or portafilter is not included. A 58 mm stainless steel tamper is a possible addition if that size fits your filter basket.

Why a flat mat?

A flat mat gives you a stable surface on the countertop without an edge hanging over the side. The mat helps protect the surface, but a portafilter must be properly supported when tamping. For loosening ground coffee, you can also use a WDT tool with holder.

Tamp only when your filter holder is resting on a stable surface.

When making espresso, you always work with a filled portafilter on your countertop. This flat black tamping mat measuring 20 Γ— 15 cm provides a stable surface for this. The silicone surface helps keep the mat in place, and the raised edge contains loose grounds. Always make sure your portafilter is properly supported when tamping. If you want to stir the ground coffee first, a WDT tool for espresso can be used as an additional preparation step.
