Model S & Model T Espresso Tamp

Your First Professional Tool

There comes a moment in every home barista's journey where the pursuit of quality becomes serious. The most significant and cost-effective step forward is upgrading the lightweight, ill-fitting plastic tamp that came with your machine. We recommend the Model S and Model T from Saint Anthony Industries because they are the perfect first professional tool. They deliver the foundational elements of a high-end tamp - proper weight, precision, and quality materials - at an accessible price, empowering you to take control of your espresso and elevate your craft.

The Foundation of a Better Extraction

These tamps provide a tangible upgrade you can feel immediately. The balanced 6-ounce weight offers the necessary mass and tactile feedback for a level and consistent tamp, replacing the guesswork of a flimsy stock model. The ultra-precise 304 stainless steel base is machined to fit standard baskets snugly, preventing the edge-channeling that leads to sour shots. The handle, constructed from alternating layers of hardwood, provides a superb grip and the durability needed for daily use. These core features work in concert to build the foundation for a truly even and delicious extraction.

Crafted to Last, Priced to Start

Saint Anthony Industries developed this line to make handcrafted perfection available to every barista. While accessible, this is not a temporary tool. The quality of the laminated wood and the precision of the steel base are designed to make it a lasting part of your coffee bar. This commitment to long-term value is reinforced by a replaceable, screw-on base, ensuring that an accidental drop doesn't mean replacing the entire tamp. It is a smart, durable investment in your passion for great coffee.
