Since the original bumper stand was launched in 2006, tamping stands have grown more and more popular. Once they were seen as quirky training tools to help promote level tamping with single spouts or bottomless portafilters, but now they are gaining acceptance in full-time use in cafes and bars around the world.
Our new Tamping Stand was designed by Paul Pratt to be as completely different as anything else on the market. Paul also designed the Bumper tamping stand which changed the way people tamp all over the world. This stand is made from solid 304 stainless steel, and is 50% extra heavier than the previous Cafelat Tamping Stand. It weights around 600g or 1lb5oz! The top and bottom feature durable rubber pads.
You can use this with either a spouted or naked portafilter to keep your work surface clean and scratch free. It also keeps the spouts free of coffee grounds so they do not end up in the cup. The exterior has been expertly finished by us in-house with a wonderful mirror finish. Ensure that the only thing your coffee touches after is leaves the portafilter are the spouts!

The new Large Tubbi knockbox replaces the previous Cafelat Knockbox and features the same shape as the much-loved original Tubbi Knockbox. Â The larger size is a scaled up version of the small Tubbi so don't worry the lovely proportions are still there. The size is almost the same as the old large knockbox and holds around 30 double pucks.As with the current Tubbi knockbox (mid 2012 onwards), this large Tubbi features a press fit silicone gasket on the bottom which means you can strip it down and clean it however you want, wash it by hand or put it in the dishwasher.
Size: 73mm x 57mm x 8.5mm (Blue colour) We have found that the replica E61 groups made these days are pretty much all the same, the different machine manufacturers then use either an 8mm or an 8.5mm group gasket. Suitable for the following machines: Profitec, ECM, Rocket, Nota, Lelit and all machines with E61 groups.Note: You need to know which thickness you require i.e. 8mm or 8.5mm since machine manufacturers choose their own thickness.
Our own group gaskets made from food grade FDA silicone. Unlike regular gaskets that are made from rubber these do not have any smell or taste whatsoever, and are easy to change since they will not bake rock hard like rubber does. If you have ever struggled to change an old gasket you cannot help but notice the awful smell and the black soot that comes off the rubber.  And that is what you are potentially consuming with each drink.Cafelat have spent months testing and adjusting the material so that these have the same compression strength as rubber, but are also softer so that it is easier to create a good seal.
