ECM Tamper Station

The slot holds my portafilter securely, making the whole tamping process feel much more stable and consistent. It's a simple upgrade that really cleans up my workflow.

The base is heavy enough that the tamper doesn't tip the whole station over, which was my main worry. I like having a dedicated spot to rest the portafilter between shots.

It does the job—the slot gives the portafilter a stable rest while I tamp, though the base isn’t as hefty as I’d hoped so it slides a little on my counter. Works fine for daily use, just not the rock-solid feel I expected.
