5 Star Pro - Flat - Red Gum Timber - Brass ring

This flat base 5 Star Pro features a beautiful, naturally textured, recycled Australian Red Gum timber handle, with a brass ring near its base**. All our timber handles are individually hand-turned on a wood lathe and made to order.

All timbers classified ‘Red Gum’ vary in shade across the colour spectrum, and your tamper handle’s timber would have its own unique variations. Natural imperfections give the wood character, and don’t represent fault – we shape to the natural grain of the timber. These handles are finished by hand and are coated with shellac.

Like all our 5 Star Pro’s, the 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.

**Please note:

• timber is a living material. All care is taken by Eazytamp to ensure that when handles are shipped there are no cracks in the timber. However, over time and by reason of normal use, cracks may appear in the handle. If this occurs, you can repair yourself by using a 2-pac glue/erudite glue. 
• given the unique timber variations, the colour of the handle shipped will vary from that displayed online. Please bear this in mind when placing your order.

FAQ, shipping and returns

• Shipping costs are calculated at the checkout step.
• Please ensure you measure your basket. Customers bear responsibility for correct choice of base size and thickness.
• Our base size of 58mm is a 58.5mm because most baskets are machined to fit this size. In other words, a base size of 58.5mm will fit most 58mm baskets, if not all.
• If you are using a single filter basket or use a filter basket <51mm in diameter, we recommend purchase of a 5mm thick base. Otherwise 7.5mm is the default thickness. If you’re not sure what base size you should order, please check the measurement page.
• We can machine custom base diameter sizes to suit. If you can't see your required size in the drop-down list to choose from, please select the closest size from this list and then record your preferred size in the notes section upon checkout of the store.
