Any recommendations for tampers and levelers? Is it a case of you get what you pay for?

Torr, Joe Frex, Bravo to name a few brands!

Anyone used an Eazytamp 5 Star Pro tamper? Would it be any better than the Nomcore level tamper?

I had Eazytamp. Was good, but not worth the price + shipping IMHO. I prefer the "button" type. Currently I use Kazak leveling tamper. Easy to use, and good price.

You can get one for £50 at the moment UK based top: https://www.hrhiggins.co.uk/products/eazytamp-five-star-pro-tamper

I have been pretty pleased with the Normcore V4 tamper. It comes with three different spring options. An affordable option vs the nicer ones that are 4x the cost.

They had the Nomcore V4 on Amazon for £48 the other day, but all sold out now

Hi everyone I have been thinking of swapping the humble, basic tamper of my Barista express for something more sophisticated. I have decided to expedite the purchase since I bought a 54 mm IMS precision basket to replace the one that came with the BE. The fact that the new basket is deeper makes it more difficult for me to achieve a level tamp, which obviously affects the consistency of each shot. Would anyone recommend the 53.3 mm Normcore tamper? https://www.normcorewares.com/products/normcore-spring-loaded-tamper-upgrate-v4?variant=40267140104388 Open to any other recommendation of course. Thanks

@"ChristosC"#p7067 Whats the gram capacity of the new basket and what dose are your currently using ? If you're having trouble getting a level tamp, is the tamper going so deep in the basket that it's hard to see ? If so, then simply use a larger dose. Simple as …. Cheers :)

MattH You may get lucky I recently ordered a ZP6 direct from taiwan and never got stung for any extra charges, think its a bit hit and miss these days especially if the item is under £130, they are supposed to charge vat at source but doubt many chinese company are registered to do so
