What Our Customers Say

"I pulled my personal best shot (up until then) on my very first tamp with the Espro [tamper]."

"What I really enjoy, is the feel of the Espro [tamper] in my hand. It just fits so well! I also like the subtle, but very satisfying click when the proper pressure has been applied."

The Calibrated Tamper Story

In 2002 I bought a really expensive espresso machine and I still made really bad coffee. The engineer in me got mad (and curious).

Research, trials, tests, prototypes and inventions ensued, and Espro was born of the idea that if you can’t make a great cup every time, something is wrong! It seems to me that we owe it to ourselves, and to the farmers and artisan-roasters that labored to put the perfect beans in your hands, to always try to make the best possible cup.
