3-in-1 Espresso Puck Prep Kit

The Culturbo 3-in-1 Espresso Puck Prep Kit is designed for home baristas who want a cleaner and more repeatable dosing, leveling, and tamping setup. The kit includes a 30lb spring-loaded calibrated tamper, an espresso distributor, and a magnetic dosing funnel.

It is best for home baristas who want a simple setup for dosing, leveling, and tamping without buying each tool separately.
