Timemore Tamper x Anthony Douglas Flow Self-Leveling

Ready to pro.

Anthony Douglas

2022 World Barista Championship Champion

We didn’t just put a name on the box.

For Anthony, tamping shouldn't be a variable; it should be a constant. His philosophy is simple: achieve maximum puck density, then adjust the grind to dial in the shot. To do this, he needed a tool that removed the physical variables of the barista's hand. He wanted the freedom to apply pressure instinctively — supported by a resistance that feels natural and linear — without ever worrying about the angle of the bed.

Engineering the outcome.

The design brief was demanding. He required the tactile feedback and classic ergonomics of a traditional handle, but with a mechanical guarantee of a perfect 90º vertical force. Together we designed Flow, which pairs the tactile soul of a manual tamper with a self-leveling collar. Crafted to adhere to Anthony’s signature tamping grip and technique, it offers a seamless experience for seasoned pros and a foolproof foundation for beginners.

Find Your Flow

Tamptastic.

We built Flow to solve the variables that plague even the best baristas. You choose the pressure and the depth. Flow takes care of everything else. It’s the classic feel you love, with the mechanical certainty you’ve been missing.

Level up.

Flow's internal design provides outstanding stability and clear tactile feedback. By maintaining a strict 90-degree tamp, Flow enables you to concentrate on applying pressure for consistent, even extraction.

Wildly inventive.

Flow introduces TIMEMORE’s first Wave Spring. Flatter and more stable than a coil spring, it compresses with a smooth, controlled resistance. Pressure stays centered as it travels from palm to puck, helping deliver a more consistent tamp every time.

Dial in your depth.

For a Deeper Tamp

Twist the handle counter- clockwise to lower tamp depth.

For a Shallower Tamp

Twist the handle clockwise to raise tamp depth.

Every coffee behaves differently, so why use a one-size-fits-all tamper? Flow features an integrated adjustment system that brings grinder-level precision to your palm. Set your depth in 1/40mm increments to match your dose and roast.

Consistency in hand.

A large, bulbous knob reduces wrist strain and provides leverage for high-volume environments.

Diamond tough.

We’ve applied a Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating to Flow base to create a gorgeous glossy surface. This aerospace-grade finish is also ultra-durable, shrugging off scratches and wear.
