Compressore Bocote Wood Espresso Tamper - 57mm, Flat

Compressore Bocote Wood Espresso Tamper Overview

Named after the Italian word for tamper, the Compressore Bocote Espresso Tamper is a tribute to the roots of espresso culture and the craft of extraction. Designed with both form and function in mind, this tamper combines natural wood artistry with industrial-grade precision.

The handle is made from FSC-certified bocote, a dense and durable exotic hardwood known for its dramatic, zebra-like grain and waxy-smooth feel. When paired with the precision-machined stainless steel base, this tamper achieves the perfect balance for consistent, confident tamping—shot after shot.

Built to perform and made to be admired, the Bocote Compressore is as unique as the wood it’s shaped from.

Compressore White Espresso Tamper FAQs

Q: What is bocote wood and why is it used?

A: Bocote is a high-density tropical hardwood with bold grain patterns and a smooth texture, ideal for a durable and beautiful tamper handle.

A: Yes. The Compressore Bocote Tamper is built for daily use in high-volume cafés as well as for home baristas who want professional tools.

Q: How does the wood affect performance?
