5 Star Pro - Infusion - Curve Handle

This infusion base, curve handle 5 Star Pro features a special design – the infusion base has circular indentations on its surface, increasing the surface area of the coffee, causing a 'pre-brewing' effect during the coffee extraction process.

This causes a change to the flavour profile and acidity of the coffee, compared with the flat base. Generally, the flavour created by this base is sweeter when we’ve compared it with our flat base tampers, however the exact impact depends on the type of coffee you use. This base works well if your roasted coffee beans are really fresh.

Plus, like all our 5 Star Pro’s, the tamper’s levelling plate keeps your tamping level by sitting on the top of the filter basket as you press down on ground coffee. The amount of pressure you apply is controlled by a pre-calibrated spring inside the tamper itself.

The handle is variation on our ‘classic handle’. It features our latest hand tamper technology, with a more cylindrical, stem-like handle shape, and was designed with the arc of the thumb in mind – providing a comfortable place to grip.
