UNIQUE DESIGN: It is a spring-loaded rammer that requires no additional adjustments. It features an ergonomic handle for a comfortable grip, allowing you to push your ground coffee with ease. Base is made of 304 stainless steel with anodized aluminum handle. Consistent Pressure: The amount of pressure you apply is only controlled by the spring inside the rammer itself. This is the perfect blender for the aspiring home barista and the busy coffee shop. Horizontal Compaction: The clever design of the horizontal press plate ensures your level of compaction every time by resting on top of the filter basket as you press down on the ground coffee. Press and turn clockwise at the same time while tamping for optimal levelling.
