Tamper Care Instructions
Your Wiedemann Precision Tamper is made of high quality
materials. The base is made of stainless steel, the handle of
wood or aluminum. Wood is a natural material and changes its
appearance with time and use. Protect your Precision Tamper from
water and simply clean it with a damp kitchen towel. Never put
it in the dishwasher. The same applies to the Tamper with
aluminium handle.
What size do I need? Options "58.0mm, 58.5mm" fit for: If
you own a machine model from the following manufacturers and use
their supplied 58mm filter baskets , our Precision Tamper 58 is
an ideal fit: Bezzera, BFC ,Brasilia ,Carimali, Conti, ECM,
Elektra, Faema, Fiorenzato, Gaggia, Grimac, IIsomac, IZZO, La
Cimbali, La Marzocco, Nuova Simonelli, Quickmill, Rancilio,
Rocket Espresso Milano, Vibiemme, Wega
What is the difference between option "58.0mm" and option
"58.5mm"? These specifications are the lower diameter of the
tamper plate. Both fit in 58s filter baskets. Which of the two
options is used is, like so many things in life, a matter of
taste. If the Tamper is used by different people and if it is
sometimes better to go faster, we recommend the 58.0mm Tamper.
If the preparation is celebrated and the ideal result is
particularly important, we recommend the 58.5mm Tamper. When
using this diameter, the ground coffee in your sieve is
compacted a little further towards the edge and the risk of
small channels (so-called channelling) forming in the coffee
puck due to the brewing pressure is minimised. Option "41mm"
fits for: The Precision Funnel 41 was specially developed for
the Precision Tamper 41 and can only be used with it. Together
they perfect your espresso preparation with the LM 7g Strada
filter. The La Marzocco LM 7g Strada filter is required for
use.
How do I know if I have a 58mm strainer? The 58mm is the
inner diameter of the strainer. Just take your portafilter out
of the brew group and measure it as shown in the picture.
Important: If the inner diameter is just under 59mm, then it is
called a 58mm strainer. The sizes "58.0mm and 58.5mm" fit for
this filter baskets.
