The Statesman Espresso Tamp

A Heritage of Craft in Your Hand

A barista's tamp is their most personal and significant tool - it's the point where their physical craft is translated directly into the coffee. We endorse the Statesman from Saint Anthony Industries because it honors this connection with a design that is both a high-precision instrument and a piece of functional art. It is built for the dedicated professional who views their work as part of a long and respected tradition of craftsmanship, and who deserves a tool that reflects that commitment.

Ergonomics Meets Ancient Artistry

The Statesman's unique profile is immediately distinct, shaped to be "ergonomically soothing" in a way that reduces physical strain and provides exceptional comfort over a full day of repetitive work. This modern understanding of ergonomics is paired with a timeless construction method. The subtle brass ring and stainless steel locking pin are not merely decorative accents; they are a direct nod to ancient toolmaking, a time-tested technique that ensures a powerful, durable, and seamless bond between the handle and the base.

Precision for the Professional

This dedication to artistry is built upon a foundation of uncompromising performance. The stainless steel base is manually machined to one of the tightest tolerances in the industry (+/- .002 of an inch), guaranteeing a perfect, edge-to-edge fit in professional baskets to prevent channeling. The balanced 12-ounce weight provides the ideal mass for a deep and level tamp with minimal effort. Each Statesman is built by hand in Salt Lake City, resulting in a unique, career-defining tool that delivers flawless precision with every single shot.
