Overview
Precision espresso preparation meets distinctive natural craftsmanship.
The Cafelat Zebra Wood Tamper 53mm brings a refined, handcrafted touch to your espresso setup. Made with imported Microberlinia wood, commonly known as Zebrano or Zebra Wood, the handle showcases a pale golden-yellow tone accented by narrow dark brown to black streaks.
Each wood handle is crafted in-house through a multi-day finishing process. The wood is carefully sanded, oiled, and buffed until it develops a silky-smooth finish, creating an espresso tool that feels as considered as it looks.
With its 53mm size, 86mm overall height, and substantial 294g weight, this Cafelat tamper combines practical espresso preparation with the individual character of natural wood.

Hand-Finished Craftsmanship — Each handle is carefully sanded, oiled, and buffed in-house.

Multi-Day Production Process — The wood handle requires several days of careful finishing rather than high-speed mass production.
-
Silky-Smooth Feel — Detailed finishing creates a refined surface designed to feel comfortable and substantial in the hand.

53mm Size — Designed for espresso setups requiring a 53mm tamper.

Substantial Weight — At approximately 294g, the tamper provides a reassuring, quality feel during puck preparation.

Why This Product Stands Out
An espresso tamper is one of the tools you handle every time you prepare a shot. The Cafelat Zebra Wood Tamper transforms that everyday step into something more tactile and distinctive.
The appeal begins with the Zebrano handle. Its dramatic striped grain gives every tamper individual character, while the extensive sanding, oiling, and buffing process creates the smooth finish expected from a premium handcrafted accessory.
Rather than simply being another functional coffee tool, this tamper adds the warmth and natural character of real wood to a home espresso bar.
