Normcore58.5mm Coffee Distribution Tool - Espresso Leveler with V Blade Base for 58mm Coffee Portafilter - Non-stick coating White - Stainless Steel V Blade base - Anodized Aluminum Stand

Nothing exciting about this, a straight-forward tool that (claims it) exerts 30lb of tamping force. I have no reason to question this claim.Positives? Very easy to use. I usually rotate it a little on my prepared puck, press (easy) and rotate it again as I lift off. No grounds retention, except a slight trace in the center where there’s no rotation.Results are good, and - whatever other tampers I might get - it’s good to have this flat-base one as a no fuss option. Fit is excellent in my 18 and 22g baskets.Negatives? None so far.Neutrals? There is no depth adjustment, which is a good thing in that there’s one less variable to stress about, but may be a bad thing for some (eg single shot) baskets dependent on profile.There are many tamper options. This one rates well for being built with quality components, and just working.

Nearly perfect but it likes to accumulate ground coffee on the outside of the level. Wish I would have spent more on a better machined product.

Great feel, nice weight and simple to adjust. Gets the job done as expected prior to tamping!

Very functional leveler at a fraction of the price of others. The only negative for me is that coffee tends to collect along the base edge

I liked normcore products. I felt this item was very helpful in my puck prep.

Wedge leveler are way better than others. Coffee does not get stuck to this one and it is very well made.

Simply perfect and sturdy as it leaves no coffee on the sides wall of the basket

This helps immensely with puck prep. High quality and works great like all other Normcore things that I have.

Ich war sehr misstrauisch, was generell Kaffee Verteiler anging, aber ich wurde eines Besseren belehrt. Der Distributor wurde von mir so eingestellt, dass eine leichte Verdichtung im Siebträger schon passiert, so dass ich nur noch leicht mit dem Tamper nacharbeiten muss. Somit kann ich wirklich eine gerade Fläche garantieren. Dies in Verbindung mit einem Sieb über dem Kaffee bringt wirklich noch mal einen anderen und besseren Geschmack hervor. Ich bin froh, dass ich den Verdichter gekauft habe.

Schnell geliefert, gute Verarbeitung.Weiter so!

This product is well made, but you are unable to adjust. Depending on whether you want a single or double shot, I found with a double shot this did not tamp the puck effectively ( puck was too loose) due to the lack of adjustment.

Very good quality/machining but has gap and leaves coffee around I will be returning it

Solid build, adjustable to whatever depth you want. Comes with a plate to hold it. Very nice, would definitely buy again.
