Description
Consistent Pressure, Better Espresso
The MHW-3BOMBER 30lb Constant Pressure Espresso Tamper is a calibrated, spring-loaded tamper built to deliver the same tamping force with every press. By applying a precise 30lb load automatically, it removes guesswork from the tamping process and helps produce more stable, repeatable espresso extractions shot after shot.
What’s Included and What’s New
The updated 2.0 version features an improved internal structure that makes spring removal and installation easier, without changing the proven 30lb tamping force. A 15lb spring option is also available for users who prefer lighter pressure. Flat base sizes available include 51mm, 53.35mm, and 58.35mm.
Wide Machine Compatibility
- Fits 51mm, 53mm, and 58mm portafilters
- Compatible with Breville 8-series, Delonghi, Welhome, Barsetto, Maxims, Petrus 51-series, and similar machines
- Flat base design for even, level tamping
Tips for Best Results
For optimal extraction, use this tamper alongside a coffee distributor or leveler. Evenly distributing grounds before tamping reduces the risk of channeling, where water finds uneven paths through the puck, which can negatively affect flavor and consistency.
What to Consider Before Buying
- Confirm your portafilter basket diameter before selecting a size
- Choose between 15lb and 30lb spring depending on your preferred tamping feel
- Works best as part of a consistent prep routine that includes grinding and distributing before tamping
