Why Choose the Slingshot Kilo Tamper?

The Slingshot Kilo is the most advanced automatic tamper on the market — the only one offering programmable tamping profiles. This allows baristas to define multi-stage tamping curves, tailoring the process to each coffee blend.

One of its most innovative features is the rotating tamping head, which compresses and polishes the puck at the same time.
This not only ensures a smoother surface but also prevents coffee grounds from sticking to the tamping base — a common issue with other tampers that leads to mess, inconsistent results, and extra cleaning time.

While other tampers rely on indirect methods (like power consumption) to estimate pressure, Kilo uses a true load cell, delivering accurate, repeatable force with ±100 g precision — shot after shot.

The quick-release magnetic head makes cleaning and maintenance effortless. Plus, Kilo fits any portafilter size between 53 mm and 58.6 mm, making it universally adaptable.

Despite its power, Kilo boasts the smallest footprint in its category, making it perfect for space-constrained countertops.
And when paired with the Kilo Space Saver, it creates a sleek, fast, and efficient tamping station.
