Normcore Tamping Station, Natural Walnut Espresso Tamping Mat, Wooden Compact Coffee Tool Organizer for 58mm Portafilter, Tamper, Distributor, Puck Screen and Portafilter, Genuine American Walnut Wood

This stamping station was a great accessory to our coffee station. We needed it for our espresso machine and it’s functional and looks great. We love it!

I absolutely love this. The build quality is amazing. It’s very heavy and sturdy. The functionality of it works exactly how you expect it to be in stores. Everything you need to make a perfect cup of coffee.

The media could not be loaded. I recently dove into the art of the espresso world and luckily I had a friend helping me steer. I went with Normcore for all of my products and i couldn’t be happier with the purchases. They make a quality built product that seems like it’s going to last. This tamping station was the last purchase I made because my wife was getting made at me for banging the portafilter on the counter. The station is very sleek and well built but is very limited on what it carries. The only downside I saw to this was it didn’t fit my 54mm funnel used to prevent beans from falling out the portafilter when tamping. I place the funnel on one of the tamping tool placements and as long as there’s no earthquake I should be alright.Remember, this is made of wood so it’s not a simple “throw it in the sink” clean. You have to carefully wash it to prevent the wood from getting damaged. I use a small countertop vacuum to clean out all excess grounds and a damp towel to wipe it out.

Great tamping station. Looks good on the coffee bar, and makes tamping easier.

The media could not be loaded. This normcore piece is sleek looking and elevates my tamper station. The product itself is heavy and made of quality material. It holds all my gadgets and comes with other pieces that help adjust the fit of your tamper.

I am a person that enjoys organization and I love that my espresso tools have a home and each step of my puck prep is supported by this station. It is an integral part of my workflow and it is a joy to have my whole process run smoothly every morning.

It's good .. heavy.. well designed. But still there's an issue with the portafilter holder sinking into the wood which creates a very rough wood edge that mess up the portafilter handle and make it hard to balance.

I'm posting this review after a little over 6 months of owning this tamping station.I love the versatility of it, and it's perfect for puck prep. It makes grabbing tools and cleanup a breeze. However, it's looking a little sad finish-wise. I have only ever gently damp/dry-wiped it clean, yet it's already so faded. I'm very careful about keeping it free of moisture, too.For the price, I'm sad. It's making my coffee setup a bit dingy, lol.
