Very practical and beautiful, a decoration in the kitchen. 4 stars instead of 5 only because it is unnecessarily expensive (on the other hand, so is most of its competition).

It is important for the pestle to fit exactly in the mortar, so I recommend measuring the internal diameter of the mortar with a caliper before purchase. I did this and it fits perfectly, without leaving any gaps on the sides.

Quality product with a very pleasant feel, both from the wooden handle and the metal surface. An additional advantage is that the handle unscrews, so I can switch handles between different diameter tampers.

As for its functionality, personally I have no complaints, but it happened to be the first brand I acquired and I stuck with it when I needed a different diameter (58.4mm with a black handle for the Gaggia Classic).

P.S. The product was purchased for an old, simple Delonghi machine that did not meet my quality expectations, so I proceeded to purchase the aforementioned Gaggia Classic. I like it so much that when I part with the Delonghi, I will keep the tamper, even though it won't have any use as a compression surface. However, I will always be able to make use of the handle!

Today I received the coffee grinder Gaggia MD15.
I think the handle moves easily, I don't know if this is negative because it is considered detachable. Other than that, it did the job I wanted
