Review: Bargain Tamper for the price - Having read some reviews regarding retention of coffee fines in the base I was slightly off put having bought a Lelit espresso machine along with their flat tamper. Ats it dropped to £25 for the rippled PVD option i decided to give it a try. Was i disappointed? Absolutely not; i have been very impressed by the consistency in the tamp & the lack of fines retained in the ripples. Quite honestly i think i have wiped it twice in 6 weeks of daily use & not due to retention. Easy to set & use, weight is lighter that the Lelit & of the quality you would expect of Normcore. I was so impressed that i bought my son one & he has had no complaints either. Comes with a cover/stand & fits the Lelit/IMS baskets perfectly. Maybe those with retention issues are grinding a lot courser or the fines/base are/is damp? Like i say in the title a bargain for the price IMHO.
Review: Superb value & Great Tamper - For the money, this is by far the best route to go down if you're looking for a calibrated, self levelling tamper. It really does take a key step that could go wrong (puck levelling) out of the equasion with ease. Feels nice and weighty, and also relatively easy to push down to tamp using the pre-installed 25lb spring. For quite some time I've used a 30lb spring tamper but I actually feel the 25lb spring is not only easier and feels nicer to push down, but gives the same result as my 30lb calibrated tamper. Works perfectly dosing 18g in a standard 58mm portafilter basket. On a side note, if this spring had the audible 'click' and technology that's found on the "The Force Tamper" which retails at £170, this would literally take over the market. As it stands there's no built in audible click that'll tell you once you've hit your correct pressure. That said, once you compress the tamper down to tamp, you do hear an audible noise of sorts as the parts meet, and you can only tamp as far as the tamper lets you so as long as you're compressing all the way down, you know you're getting the pressure of whatever spring you've got installed. If you're not able to compress the tamper all the way down, it's likely you're dosing too much coffee into the basket.

## Features

- IMPROVED CONSISTENCY – Normcore’s clever design lets you achieve the same tamp every time. Enjoy consistent pressure for every cup with the spring-loaded tamper, with 3 interchangeable springs to suit your preference.
- THOUGHTFUL DESIGN - Our Spring-loaded tamper (Patent Pending) need no additional adjustments, and its ergonomic handle grants comfortable use and ease every time.
- RIPPLE BASE - Created to minimize the risk of a doughnut extraction, the indentation on the coffee bed made by the ripple tamper allows controlled water channeling and even saturation of the grounds.
- LEVEL TAMPING - The ingenious design of the leveling plate ensures your tamping is leveled every single time. It does so by resting on top of the filter basket as you press down on ground coffee. Press and turn clockwise at the same time when tamping to create the best results.
- SUITS 51MM BASKETS: Ensuring a perfectly snug fit most DeLonghi, S MEG, La Pavoni, and Breville 800 Series others are compatible with 51 mm portafilter baskets. And we offer 51mm, 53.3mm, and 58.5mm tamper ripple bases.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent budget calibrated Tamper
*by M***S on 25 February 2023*

I have read some reviews here that describe this as cheap and plastic. Neither are true. It’s a fully metal construction and is of a premium quality of materials and build. The tamper itself is a ridged type and solid metal. It has a range of springs included to set your own preferred tamping pressure. What is less talked about is the guaranteed perpendicular approach because of the fitment to the top inner of the portafilter basket. My personal issue which prompted my purchase wasn’t pressure but rather pressing at a slight angle, which caused over extraction of one edge of the coffee puck. This tamper from Normcore completely eliminates this as it fits level onto the top of the basket and sits slightly inside the basket to so the alignment is perfect. This combined with the spring of choice delivers exact, precise and repeatable tamping every time. Compared to other similar options I believe this to be a good value/quality prospect.
