Features

The TIMEMORE × Anthony Douglas FLOW is a self-leveling espresso tamper for 58.5mm baskets, designed by TIMEMORE with Anthony Douglas, TIMEMORE's technical consultant and the 2022 World Barista Champion. A wave spring behind a 69mm collar keeps the 58.5mm DLC-coated base level as you press, and a depth dial adjusts the tamping depth in 0.025mm steps. It comes in two grip sizes, Small and Large.

Self-leveling wave spring

A wave spring sits between the handle and the base under a 69mm collar. The auto-leveling architecture keeps the force vertical at 90° to the coffee bed so a slightly tilted hand does not translate into a tilted puck. The same spring spreads the force evenly across the base.

Adjustable depth dial

Turning the dial moves the base relative to the handle: 40 clicks per 360° rotation, 0.025mm per click and 1mm per full turn. Once you have set the depth for your basket and dose, the same setting repeats from shot to shot.

58.5mm DLC-coated base

The 58.5mm base is coated in DLC (diamond-like carbon), a hard, scratch-resistant finish. At 58.5mm it is sized to cover the full coffee bed in a 58mm portafilter basket. It is also engineered to release air as the tamper lifts, so the puck is not pulled up by a vacuum.

Two grip sizes

The handle is aluminium alloy with a silicone grip, in black with a gold spring. Small suits palms under 16cm (6 inches) and is 90.4mm tall and 445g; Large suits palms over 16cm and is 98.4mm tall and 475g. Both have the same 69mm collar and 58.5mm base, and each is a separate variant with its own barcode.

Made with Anthony Douglas

Anthony Douglas is TIMEMORE's technical consultant and won the 2022 World Barista Championship. His signature is engraved on the handle.

Details

'Ready to pro.' — Anthony Douglas, TIMEMORE Technical Consultant and 2022 World Barista Championship champion, holding the Flow tamper, with the story of how he specified a tamper with a self-leveling collar, a 90-degree vertical force and the tactile feel of a manual tamper

'Find your flow' — a hand holding the black TIMEMORE × Anthony Douglas FLOW tamper against an amber background

Feature cards for the Flow tamper: Anti-Vacuum Design, Adjustable Tamp Depth, Wave Spring, DLC Tamper Coating, Ergonomic Design, and the tamper rising through a burst of coffee grounds, designed with 2022 WBC champion Anthony Douglas

Animated: the Flow tamper with its gold spring visible above a coffee-filled base turning on a black background

'Tamptastic.' — Flow solves the variables that plague even the best baristas: you choose the pressure and the depth, Flow takes care of everything else with the classic feel and mechanical certainty

Animated: the Flow tamper rotating on a black background

'Level up.' — Flow's internal design gives stability and clear tactile feedback and holds a strict 90-degree tamp; a Self-Leveling Collar keeps the tamper level and an Edge-to-Edge Base gives full bed coverage while minimising puck lift

Animated: a see-through cutaway of the Flow tamper showing the gold wave spring and metal shaft inside a bulb-shaped body

'Wildly inventive.' — TIMEMORE's first Wave Spring, flatter and more stable than a coil spring, compresses smoothly and keeps pressure centred from palm to puck for a consistent tamp

Animated: two Flow tampers with arrows showing the handle twisting in each direction to change tamp depth

Twist the handle counter-clockwise for a deeper tamp or clockwise for a shallower tamp; an integrated adjustment system sets depth in 1/40 mm steps to match your dose and roast

Depth adjustment spec strip: 360° of turn equals 1 mm, 40 clicks per 360°, 0.025 mm per click

Two Flow tamper sizes: Small for palms under 16 cm (6 in) and Large for palms over 16 cm (6 in); 'Consistency in hand' — a large, bulbous knob reduces wrist strain and gives leverage for high-volume environments

Flow's base up close: an Air Groove that vents air to neutralise suction the moment you lift, and a Chamfered Edge that releases smoothly without disturbing the coffee bed — 'No pressure.'

Animated: the Flow tamper's flat base seen from above, rotating slowly on a black background

'Diamond tough.' — a Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating gives the base a glossy, ultra-durable surface; a scratched base without DLC coating compared with a smooth one with it

Quote from Anthony Douglas: 'At the end of the day, a good tamper should feel like a natural extension of you — a thoughtful tool for a thoughtful craft.'

FAQ

What is the TIMEMORE × Anthony Douglas FLOW tamper?

The FLOW is a self-leveling espresso tamper from TIMEMORE, developed with Anthony Douglas, the 2022 World Barista Champion and TIMEMORE's technical consultant. It has a 58.5mm DLC-coated base, a wave spring behind a 69mm collar that keeps the base level, and a depth dial with 0.025mm clicks. It comes in a Small and a Large grip, in black with a gold spring.

How does the self-leveling work?

A wave spring between the handle and the base lets the base settle flat against the coffee bed. The architecture keeps the force vertical at 90° and spreads it evenly across the base. It helps compensate for a slightly tilted hand, but good tamping posture still matters.

How does the depth dial work?

Turning the dial changes the base position relative to the handle: 40 clicks per full turn at 0.025mm per click, so 1mm of travel per turn. Set it for your basket and dose and the depth repeats from shot to shot.

Should I choose the Small or the Large grip?

They are sized by palm length: Small for palms under 16cm (6 inches) and Large for palms over 16cm. Small is 90.4mm tall and weighs 445g; Large is 98.4mm tall and weighs 475g. The collar and base are the same on both.

Which portafilters and baskets does it fit?

The base is 58.5mm and fits 58.5mm baskets, so it is made for 58mm portafilters. It is not a fit for 51mm or 54mm baskets.

Is it heavy?

It is a solid tamper: 445g in Small and 475g in Large, built from aluminium alloy and 304 stainless steel. If you prefer a light tamper, that weight is worth knowing before you order.

What is the base coated with?

The base is DLC (diamond-like carbon), an aerospace-grade coating that resists scratches and wear.

What is in the box?

One TIMEMORE × Anthony Douglas FLOW tamper in the grip size you choose.
