Why did you pick this product vs others?:Brilliant design--Works exactly as promised. Superb quality.

Most home barista’s know that grind size and being consistent are a huge part of making good espresso. Tamping plays a huge part of the equation. This tamper/leveler is worth its weight in gold. I did a lot of searching on different web sights selling these items. The cost was shockingly high and unreasonable to say the least. This purchase was not only reasonable but also a step above the rest. It is solid and heavy. You want a tamper/leveler that is solid and weighty so that you do less work. This product does both leveling and tamping. Did I mention it’s adjustable as well for depth. Both sides! Again alot depends on how much espresso you dose up in your basket and consistency as to how you adjust for performance. The size is absolutely perfect! Also it’s quite nice looking, and made of solid stainless steel. Nothing cheap whatsoever! Important to note that the 58.5 size is what you want for flush 58mm baskets. Do your research and check out prices. This tamper is easy on the wallet and quite a nice addition to my coffee bar.

I originally purchased this Crema Coffee Products version of this tool, but after seeing a Culikem branded knock-off for $15 instead of $45 I decided to purchase it and compare the two.The double shot basket on the Breville Barista Pro measures 53.75 mm (2.116”). The Crema tool measures 53.34 mm (2.100”) as advertised, and the Culikem version measures 53.00 mm (2.087”) also as advertised. This means the Culikem tool is nearly twice as loose as the Crema, and the difference is somewhat visually noticeable in the tamp (a partial ring of untamped grounds), however I don’t believe it made a practical difference in the tamp.This is where the downsides of the knock-off end. I was shocked at how comparable the quality of the two were given the price. There was nothing about the Culikem that indicated any corners were cut compared to the Crema. In fact, the tool faces and sides were nicely polished whereas Crema left the sides as a machined finish (though still acceptable).Overall the knock off did what I need at an excellent price. I can still recommend the Crema tool as very high quality and well fitting with the Breville basket. If you think the closer fit is worth paying 3x as much, then you will not be disappointed!

Prior to this I was getting pretty good results using separate leveling and tamping tools, and probably would've never thought to get anything else. My tamper was pretty standard (decent upgrade from what came with my espresso machine), but the leveler was a Motta. Unfortunately the leveler fell off the top of my grinder onto an espresso mug, which put two barbs in the rim that made it uncomfortable to handle. After confirming Motta didn't sell just a replacement handle, I started shopping one-piece tools. I liked the all-silver yet understated look of this one. Compared to having separate tools, it's nice to only have the one footprint to deal with in your setup. Also the leveler and tamper depths are adjustable, so once tuned to your bean/grind, they do the same thing every time. I left the leveler setting as-is but put a little more depth on the tamper side. It gives a satisfying sink when compressing the grounds after leveling and a nice polish. I'm not exacting enough to where I weigh out the beans or grounds but am used to how much grind goes in the portafilter, and am getting more consistent results finishing with this tool. Shots come out with no noticeable difference every time, whereas before, some would pull faster than others. Really like the look, functionality, and simplicity of this tool. Also the 58.5mm is a perfect fit for my Gaggia Classic Pro.

Very sturdy construction and hand feel. Tool is very simple and intuitive to adjust. Due to the design of the tamper, it allows for a consistently level tamp each use which takes the guesswork out of prepping a solid espresso shot. Works perfectly with Flair 58 portafilter and can be used with Crema dosing funnel placed on portafilter which allows for dosing + distribution + tamping to all occur in sequence mess free! Great value, highly recommend

This beautifully well crafted and finished tool put me back in love with my expresso machine. Worth every penny.

Nice weight. Both sides adjust with an easy turn and then stay put.
