Normcore Espresso Tamping Station, Wooden Coffee Tamper Station for 58mm Portafilter, Tamper, and Distributor, Puck Screen, Coffee Station Organizer for Countertop, Natural American Walnut

Immediately started chipping the wood with normal use. The rubber is too receded

Utile, efficace et élégant

Second item from Normcore that I need to return due to poor quality control... The first one was their manual grinder that was DOA and got a full refund for it. Now, I need to return this tamping station as it doesn't lay flat, regardless of the surface I put it on. The under side warped and there's a gap of about 1/8 of an inch under 1 of the rubber legs. This causes the whole station to wobble, every time I prepare a shot. For the price you pay and the premium that comes with the name, I'd assume a better quality control... EDIT: Removing a star as the second unit I received was not only not leveled (also wobbling regardless of the surface I put it on), but the rubber inserts for the 2 tool holders were too big for the enclosure and the 54mm is really unstable, even with the right rubber inserts in place (using the breville original porter filter with the dual spouts). This is, again, a quality control issue. While I'm not expecting it, no one reached out to me so far.

Beautiful little espresso station. The rectangular design makes it more space-efficient for compact work spaces. Nice quality wood and the rubber components are easily removable and easy to clean.

Beautiful finish and holds all the tools you need. Two screen slots might be a bit overkill - hence only 4 stars
