Achieve perfectly even espresso extraction with the Motta 57 mm Coffee Leveling Tool, expertly crafted in Italy for professional baristas and home espresso enthusiasts. Designed to evenly distribute coffee grounds before tamping, this precision tool helps eliminate channeling, improve consistency, and produce balanced espresso shots.

The three-wing distribution base evenly levels the coffee bed with a simple twisting motion. This creates a uniform surface before tamping, resulting in more consistent extractions and richer espresso.

Constructed with a precision-machined 57 mm stainless steel distribution base and a durable anodized aluminum body, the Motta Leveling Tool is built for years of reliable daily use. Its striking red finish adds a professional touch to any espresso station.

Whether you're dialing in espresso at home or preparing hundreds of drinks in a busy café, the Motta Leveling Tool helps deliver repeatable, café-quality results.

Features:

  • Precision 57 mm diameter fits espresso machines with 57 mm baskets, such as the Lelit Anna and most Ascaso machines.
  • Three-blade stainless steel distribution system evenly levels coffee grounds for improved puck preparation and extraction consistency.
  • Helps reduce channeling by creating a uniform coffee bed before tamping.
  • Crafted from premium stainless steel and anodized aluminum for durability and long-lasting performance.
  • Improves espresso shot consistency by promoting even water flow through the coffee puck.
  • Ergonomic low-profile design provides comfortable handling and smooth rotation during use.
  • Ideal companion to a 57 mm espresso tamper for a complete puck preparation workflow.
  • Suitable for home baristas, coffee enthusiasts, and professional café environments.
  • Elegant black and stainless steel finish complements modern espresso stations and coffee bars.

How to Use

  1. Fill your portafilter basket with freshly ground coffee.
  2. Place the Motta Leveling Tool on top of the grounds.
  3. Rotate the tool several times while applying light downward pressure.
  4. Remove the tool and tamp using your preferred 57 mm espresso tamper.
  5. Brew and enjoy a more consistent espresso extraction.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use the same coffee dose each time for greater consistency.
  • Adjust the leveling depth when changing baskets or coffee recipes.
  • The leveling tool distributes grounds—it does not replace tamping.
  • Clean the tool regularly to prevent coffee oils and grounds from building up.
  • For optimal puck preparation, use the leveling tool before tamping with a matching 57 mm tamper.
