Hi, we got a rancilio epoca (Commercial one), may I know whether this tamper is good for the said machine?

It isn't a question of brand of machine as much as the diameter of the cup. To be sure, check in the instruction booklet of the machine you have, or go on the site, and they will tell you if it is a 58mm cup. Most probably it is.

YES. This tamper will work for the (any) Rancilio machine such as this with the 58mm portfilter. HOWEVER, if you are using it in a commercial environment you may want a more sturdy, solid and heavier tamper. The Rattleware is good but read the rest of the reviews and relate them to your use if it is FULL-TIME and commercial use (retail?).

No. The coffee should not be tamped with a tamper as for a high-pressure espresso machine. It should be lightly compacted with a spoon to ensure the funnel is properly filled and there are no air pockets, but it should not be tamped.

No, the tamper that came with your machine is 11 3/8" . . .this one is 12.75". Call Vitamix as they don't currently offer the right tamper on their site but may be able to send you one just the same.

Espresso needs to be packed firmly in the portafilter basket and a tamper is great for this because it fits nicely inside the portafilter. When I got my espresso machine, I forgot to buy a tamper too and I was left trying to tamp the espresso puck with other objects, but a tamper does this much more evenly than trying to use a makeshift tamper. Tamping is one of the necessary steps to great espresso shots!

We don't use one. We noticed that when we pack it down too hard, water has difficulty coming through. So we can't tell if a tamper will make a difference. Even without tamper, we make wonderful coffee with it. We used Trader Joe's organic coffees.

by "tamper" do you mean to flatten coffee grounds down? They tell you NOT to do that in the little book that c omes with the Krups. Great machine. I have been using for years. Now have moved on to a Nespresso!! FABULOUS!bought it on Amazon. Poor Krups sits in the cupboard these days!

I thought that container was recalled due to the blade. If not, no, this tamper will not work with that container because the container is too short. You will get pieces of the tamper in your mixture if you do use a regular size tamper. You will need a shorter one for that container. I hope that helps.

I don't use a tamper, but I think the tampers are a standard size. The machine comes with a coffee scoop that has a tamper on one end. I have a Silver starbucks tamper/scoop that we received as a wedding gift, and it also fits this machine.

I do not have a clue what you are asking. The Vktech tamper is a well made product that does the job it was designed to do very well.

I bought the tamper for a Gaggia machine. I'm not familiar with DeLonghi's. Sorry.

It comes with plastic tamper but I'd recommend buying a stainless steel one. Also it does not come with frothing pitcher so you'll have to buy one.

I use a 2" diameter steel tamper and works perfectly. You can use the one provided with the machine, however, it is plastic.

I'm not familiar with that model espresso machine? I'd recommend buying a 58mm locally to see if it works. If it does, take it back and get the rattleware on amazon.

I use this on my espresso maker and that is for personal use. According to the manufacturer, it is designed for any machine for food.

I've used Durgol on my espresso machine-a different brand-and it works well.

I purchased a tamper....but other than the fact that it was the correct [smaller diameter] size! I can offer no additional info than it has some weight. The tamper included with the machine is at best a toy...TOTALLY inadequate for the role of a tamper. DO NOT go for a $6 combo tamper @ one of the chain kitchen stores... Search the web/Amazon for the correct size/weight

A local place that sells espresso machines recommends it, specifically including Rancilio Silvia. http://blog.seattlecoffeegear.com/2014/01/07/descale-rancilio-silvia/
