Most Motta stainless steel pitchers are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to preserve their finish and appearance over time.

The correct tamper size depends on your espresso machine's portafilter basket.

Common Sizes:

• 49 mm – Many DeLonghi® models
• 51 mm – Delonghi Dedica®, Capresso®
• 53 mm – La Spaziale®
• 54 mm – Breville® Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Bambino Plus
• 57 mm – Select Lelit® and Ascaso® models
• 58 mm – Most commercial and prosumer espresso machines

Measure the inside diameter of your portafilter basket. For optimal espresso extraction, select a tamper that closely matches the basket diameter.

The 58 mm Motta Tamper is the industry standard and fits most commercial and high-end home espresso machines.

Wash with warm water and mild dish soap after use and dry thoroughly to maintain the product's appearance and finish.

Occasionally, a small amount of polishing residue may remain on stainless steel surfaces after manufacturing. This is completely normal and harmless.

To remove it:

1. Wash the item thoroughly 2–3 times using very hot water and a grease-cutting dish soap.
2. For any remaining residue, gently clean with a soft cloth and a paste made from baking soda and water.
3. For stubborn spots, Bar Keepers Friend® may be used.

Motta products are manufactured using premium food-grade stainless steel that is highly resistant to corrosion when properly cared for.
