This is Cafelat's world famous corner tamping mat, invented by Paul Pratt in 2008 and used all over the world. The mat is the perfect solution for those baristas who like to tamp with the portafilter resting on the edge of the counter.
The mat is made from a very hard and thick food grade odourless silicone. Unlike the cheaper copies on the market this has been engineered not to deform and provide a very stable tamping platform. The mat is almost 10mm thick - this is not to be confused with the cheaper copies from Europe that are only 3mm thick.
Of course the mat may also be used as a regular tamping mat if you don't want to tamp on the edge.
Material: Black silicone.
Size: 21cm (W) 14.5cm (D) Overhang 4cm

Flat tamping mats are a must-have accessory for every barista workstation. In busy coffee bars they give baristas much needed cushioning when tamping hundreds if not thousands of times per day and for the home baristas they prevent the wrath of a spouse when they discover the scratches made by the portafilters on expensive kitchen counters! Our attractive mat may also be pushed up against a grinder or even underneath the forks so that they can act as a tray to collect stray grinds from those messy dosers.
The mat is made from a very hard and thick food grade odourless silicone.
Apart from buying a Kees van der Westen Speedster, there is no better way to brighten up your barista area than with a Cafelat Splat Mat. The mat is shaped liked a splat of espresso (or milk) and also functions as a Corner Mat as well.
The mat is much smaller than the other tamping mats and perfect for use at home.
Again made from very hard and thick, food grade odourless silicone. It has been designed to extra great protection to the counter and the baristas.
