Barista Basics Rubber Tamper Seat, Cog-Style, 60.5 mm Interior

Your espresso tamper deserves a better parking spot than a wet counter. The Barista Basics Cog-Style Rubber Tamper Seat gives it a dedicated place to rest between shots, with a soft rubber surface that cushions the base.

It's a simple addition to a home espresso setup or café work area: finish tamping, put your tamper back in its seat, and keep it within reach for the next shot. The recessed center helps keep the tamper in place instead of leaving it perched near the edge of your counter.

What does a tamper seat do?

A tamper is the tool you use to compress ground coffee in an espresso basket. A tamper seat is its resting spot when you're not using it. This rubber seat cushions the tamper base and gives it a designated space away from a damp countertop. It's for resting and storing your tamper, not for supporting a portafilter while you tamp.

Details that matter

• Soft rubber construction cushions the tamper base.
• Recessed circular center provides a dedicated resting spot.
• Cog-style outer edge gives the seat its distinctive shape.
• Inside diameter: 60.5 mm.
• Barista Basics by Espresso Parts.

Check your tamper's fit

Compare your tamper's base diameter with the seat's 60.5 mm inside diameter before ordering. The 60.5 mm measurement describes the opening in the seat, not the size of an espresso basket or the outside width of the product.

A small upgrade to your daily routine

Keep the seat on a clean, dry part of your coffee station, close to where you prepare your shots. Brush away loose grounds and wipe the tamper base before putting it back. A consistent place for your tools makes the routine a little less cluttered, whether you're learning your first espresso recipe or making your usual morning cup.
