Compressore (com|pres|so|re) is the Italian word for tamper and we couldn't think of a better way to pay homage to the birth place of espresso than to give this handle design an Italian name.

Our Compressore espresso tamp handle is precision machine milled from solid aluminum. When attached to the heavier stainless steel base the lighter weight aluminum handle provides a proper mass ratio between the two which results in an exceptional feeling of balance.

The Compressore handles are beautifully anodized with a silky matte finish in the specified color allowing long lasting durability and grandeur. This is one of the nicest most natural feeling handles on the market. Fits all Espresso Parts coffee/espresso tamp piston bases.

Weighing in at 1lbs 3.1oz including a 58mm convex stainless steel tamper piston this tamp is larger but lighter than our all stainless steel ProTamp. The Compressore handle has the heft and feel that many professional barista today are looking for.

Espresso Parts' tamper pistons are professionally machine milled stainless steel, and are available in your choice of a flat or convex tamp piston in the following stock sizes: 58mm, 57mm, 56mm, 55mm, 53mm, 52mm and 49mm.

Our Compressore espresso tamp is currently available in Black, Blue and Red Anodized colors.

Anodizing, or anodising, is an Electrolytic Passivation (Electroplating) process used to increase the thickness and density of the natural oxide layer on the surface. Anodized finishes are generally much stronger and more adherent than most paints platings, and powder coats making them less likely to crack and peel. Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
