[edit] ESPRESSO: TAMPERS
[edit] Size and Machine Matches
Not every tamper will be appropriate for each espresso machine. The better the fit of your tamper to the filter basket of your espresso machine the better your extraction is likely to be. The following is a list of known filter basket sizes. Because the stated sizes are nominal, the actual tamper size could be as much as 2mm larger than the stated size. A ridged basket may be the stated size if the ridges are to the inside. For your own use it would be suggested to see an engineer shop and have your baskets measured. Because of size changes due to heating, a fit of less than .5mm is not recommended for a high usage machine.
