"The unit measurements stated 2" top diameter x 2 1/4" bottom diameter (50mm and 60 mm). It is nicely weighted and clearly made from cast mold (you can see the ridges) with an alloy metal (aluminum coating, I guess)... so that means... ONLY HANDWASH it or it will look ugly tarnished after it comes out of the dishwasher."
"I hoped that this tamper would be a perfect fit, since I was sick of having to do multiple passes with a smaller 48mm tamper I tried before. Each half of the tamper was slightly offset from the other which ended up making it a bit bigger."
"It works okay if you overfill the basket and make a full four shots but pretty worthless if trying to make less. If that doesn’t do it I’ll probably borrow a grindstone and file the edges down until it reaches the bottom of the basket."
"However, I was disappointed when I ran the tamper through the dishwasher upon arrival, and it became discolored almost immediately."
"Use only on espresso machines with strong pressure."
"Krups has a plastic combination spoon, tamper and Allen wrench (for fixing the milk frother when it clogs) but it's not as classy as a metal tamper. Tamping espresso is of course just a nicety -- it will work just as well to do it with fingers or a spoon. Maybe that tolerance lets me tamp without having to put on my glasses to aim it exactly."
"Cast Aluminum: I don't have access to a XRF to analyse the alloy, but based on the two other claims being demonstrably false, I have decided that trusting this tamper to come into contact with my food would be a poor decision. As for function, I thought that it worked OK ... until I got my stainless steel replacement ASIN: B000BUDDRQ from the same place."
Suitable for tamping fresh ground espresso before brewing.

"I used to work at a gourmet coffee shop."
"fast delivery and great product."
"This tamper is great."
"I bought this for an espresso machine that I purchased more than 5 years ago and have never used. It it very heavy, so I don't think it is hollow, but it is definitely not machined from a single piece of stainless steel."
"I have a plastic tamper, which is attached at the side of my espresso machine, and this device is really useless. My espresso machine is the DeLonghi EC 155, which is a nice machine, apart from the not-so-fancy plastic tamper."
"Some stainless is made with chrome instead of nickle and that stainless IS magnetic, but that's beside the point. You can actually plate stainless onto other metals if you plate copper first, and this has an obvious layer of copper (as well as copper pulled out with a Q-tip), but the final coating may be stainless or it may be chrome."
"Why make this product so heavy? The other problem is that it doesn't exactly fit proper into the coffee filter for tamping the grind."

"Ironically, my soy milk froths even better in this pitcher which narrows slightly at the top than it did in my former Starbucks pitcher."
"I was a little worried that the 20 oz size would be too big but it fits in the machine with careful placement and I really like the extra capacity since I make pretty large cappuccinos."
"I got the 20 oz."
"This is great; however, a little smaller than I expected."
"A needed accessory for my espresso maker to create."
"heated the milk between the 120*&140* then took off the heat and used a hand held frothing stick 2 AAA batteries,(love this little tool),i purchased from amazon."
"Love the product, have yet to steam milk with it, but is perfect for pouring frothed milk using a frothing whisk."
