Metallurgica Motta Black Crown Dynametric Espresso Tamper – 58mm | Made in Italy
The Metallurgica Motta Black Crown Dynametric Tamper is a 58 mm calibrated (dynamometric) espresso tamper, made in Italy. Press down until its calibrated mechanism indicates the set tamping pressure, and every puck gets the same tamp, shot after shot, whoever is behind the machine. It fits standard 58 mm filter baskets, the size used by the Gaggia Classic, Rancilio Silvia, Breville Oracle and E61-group espresso machines.
Features
- Calibrated pressure mechanism – takes the guesswork out of tamping, so you apply the same pressure on every shot instead of judging it by feel.
- 58 mm stainless steel base – the standard size for commercial and prosumer espresso machines.
- Black Crown handle – an ergonomic grip for comfortable, controlled tamping.
- More consistent extraction – an evenly compressed puck helps water flow through the coffee evenly.
- Made in Italy – by Metallurgica Motta, maker of professional barista tools since 1967.

Frequently asked questions
What is a dynamometric (calibrated) espresso tamper?
A tamper with a built-in calibrated mechanism that indicates when you've reached a set tamping pressure. You apply the same pressure on every shot instead of judging it by feel, which makes your espresso more repeatable.
Will the Black Crown tamper fit my espresso machine?
It fits machines with 58 mm baskets, such as the Gaggia Classic, Rancilio Silvia, Breville Oracle Jet and Oracle Dual Boiler, KitchenAid Semi-Automatic and E61-group machines. It does not fit 51, 53, 54 or 57 mm baskets: Breville Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch and Bambino machines take a 54 mm tamper.
Should I choose a 58 mm, 58.4 mm or 58.5 mm tamper?
A 58 mm tamper is the standard choice: it fits every 58 mm basket with a small, easy gap and is the easiest to keep level. 58.4 mm and 58.5 mm tampers give a snugger fit in precision baskets. The Tamper Size Guide compares all three.
Is the Black Crown tamper made in Italy?
Yes. It is made in Italy by Metallurgica Motta, which has made stainless steel barista tools since 1967. Motta-USA is the official US home of Motta, and every product we sell is 100% authentic.
How do I clean it?
