What it is
A tamper with a spring inside the handle. You press until the spring bottoms out, so the force is meant to be the same every time. The listing is sold by the brand's official store and comes in 51, 53 and 58 mm, each with a flat or threaded base.

What to check before buying
- Base size. The size is the seller's label for the basket it suits. If your basket measures between sizes, ask the seller before ordering.
- Flat or threaded base. Both are offered; flat is the conventional choice. We have no evidence that one extracts better than the other.
- The calibration. "30 lb" is the seller's figure. We have not measured it.
