Verybarista espresso tamper, handcrafted in Italy with a flat stainless-steel base and Italian walnut handle. Engineered for IMS Competition & E&B Lab baskets.


Description

The Verybarista Espresso Tamper is a precision tool created specifically for IMS Competition and E&B Lab filter baskets. Designed and handcrafted in Italy, this tamper combines technical accuracy with timeless materials.

The base is made from food-safe INOX stainless steel, precisely machined and perfectly balanced for consistent pressure. Its flat surface ensures an even coffee bed, reducing channeling and enhancing extraction consistency. The handle, carved from fine Italian walnut, provides natural ergonomics and a tactile grip that ages beautifully with use.

Unlike mass-produced tampers, Verybarista follows the Italian dimensioning standard: the size printed refers to basket compatibility, not the exact measured diameter. For example, the 53.5 mm tamper is engineered at 53.35 mm to perfectly fit 53.5 mm IMS baskets without scratching or creating puck-damaging vacuum. 

Every tamper is engraved with the Verybarista logo as a mark of authenticity, built to deliver constant performance and lasting reliability for serious espresso preparation.

Instructions & Care

How to Use

  1. Fill your IMS Competition or E&B Lab basket with freshly ground coffee.
  2. Distribute grounds evenly before tamping.
  3. Place the tamper base flat on the coffee bed.
  4. Apply steady, even pressure - avoid twisting or angling.
  5. Lift the tamper straight up to prevent vacuum or puck disturbance.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the stainless-steel base with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Dry immediately.
  • Handle: The Italian walnut handle should be cleaned only with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not soak or expose to high humidity - no dishwasher.
  • Wood care: For long-term durability, occasionally treat the walnut with a thin layer of food-safe wood oil. This maintains natural color and prevents drying.
  • Avoid: Dishwasher use, abrasive sponges, or harsh detergents - these will damage both wood and steel finishes.
  • Storage: Keep in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

With minimal care, your Verybarista tamper will remain precise, durable, and beautiful for many years of daily use.
