Wiedemann Tamping Stations
Tamping on a bench top can mean a wobbling portafilter, scuffed surfaces and coffee grounds everywhere. A tamping station solves that with a firm base that holds the portafilter level, so each tamp is applied evenly.
Standard or Long
The standard station is a compact, roughly cube-shaped block, while the long version is a rectangular block with an additional slot for storing a 41mm or 58mm tamper. If bench space is limited, the standard is easier to fit. If you want the tamper close at hand, the long version is worth a look.
Design and Features
The Wiedemann V2 has a steel body in brushed stainless, black or white, topped with a wooden cradle. An adjustable screw lets you level the surface, an interchangeable ring holds the portafilter more securely, and the underside has a space for a backflush disc that doubles as a drip catcher. Wooden feet have rubber grips that stop it slipping.
Finding the Right One
Check which portafilter you use, and whether you want hands-free tamping, as some accessories are made only for the long version. Our showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hobart, Newcastle and Kiama can show you the stations in person, and the team can advise on tampers, baskets and bench setup.
