Why Flexures?
Flexures are thin mechanical elements that are designed to bend to produce high-precision and repeatable controlled motion between two parts without sliding or rolling.
They are typically used in precision instruments like optical alignment systems, metrology tools, aerospace mechanisms, robotics, medical devices, and scientific instruments.
Now, they are also used in espresso tampers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Normal Dose Tamper V2 different from other tampers?
The Normal Dose Tamper V2 features a self-leveling mechanism that uses flexures instead of springs to ensure a level tamp every time. The flexures have a very smooth motion since they don't rely on springs, or sliding parts that rub against each other.
The unique mechanical design architecture results in a form and user experience that you will not find in other espresso tampers.
What's new in the Normal Dose Tamper V2?
-New low retention matte finish on the stainless steel parts.
-More durable hard anodized finish on the aluminum parts.
-3X as many flexures for a more responsive feel.
-More range to allow users to tamp deeper below the basket rim.
-New 53.4mm size option.
-More compact, with refined design elements.
-Lower price.
Which size is compatible with my portafilter?
The 58.5 mm option will work with standard 58 mm portafilters. They fit best with a precision style basket like those made by VST, Pullman, IMS, or the new "fancy basket" manufacturers.
The 53.4 mm option will work with the Breville 54mm portafilter.
How much force should I apply when tamping?
Studies show that once the puck is fully compressed, extra force doesn’t improve extraction.
Just press until you feel motion stop. There’s no need to push harder.
Spring-based tampers often require more force than necessary.
The Normal Dose Tamper V2 uses a flexure mechanism that's very easy to press, so you’re not fighting springs. It stays out of the way and lets you tamp naturally.
Most users are surprised by how little effort it takes when they try it for the first time. It is a truly different tamping experience.
Does it hurt to press on a small handle?
With the Normal Dose Tamper V2, your force goes into compressing the puck, not overcoming spring resistance or friction.
Its mechanical design is fundamentally different from traditional tampers, which allows for a form factor that’s equally unique.
Users are often surprised by how comfortable it feels and how easy it is to use.
How long will it last?
The Normal Dose Tamper V2 is built to last for many years of daily use.
The flexure mechanism is made from durable, fatigue-resistant stainless steel and has been tested for over 100,000 cycles with no loss of performance.
Can I buy the Normal Dose Tamper V2 Outside of the United States?

Customer Reviews
"LOVE this tamper, it's my favorite one to use. Super ergonomic and i love how smooth the action is. One thing thats not stated enough is that due to the design you can feel the grinds compress beneath your hand and it gives you a better feeling of how you are tamping."
Lawrence H.
"I like that Normal Dose Tamper gives me a direct feel how cofee grounds are getting compacted, it lets me apply precise pressure; there is no spring resistance to overcome, no friction, no noise, just a perfectly smooth and silent action. The base of the tamper has sharp, slightly slanted edge - just a right geometry. The fit to the basket is perfect. I wish the tamper comes with a simple silicone stand, but this is a minor complain."
MARK B.

"Great tamper! Just received and used for the first time and my cup was great. The action of the tamper was so smooth I couldn’t tell the grounds compressed initially so I pressed it a few times lol."
Camron
"Normal Dose Tamper V2 Its pressing power is excellent. Its shape is beautiful. The most important feature is that the coffee does not stick to the surface of tamper. Thanks for the great product."
