This coffee tamper pad is a strong rubber base that is a great place to store your coffee tamper. This coffee tamper pad will NOT slip, and it won't move. It's surprisingly immobile for a rubber pad. You can keep this coffee tamper pad where you keep your coffee tamper. It will protect both the surface on which you store your coffee tamper and (perhaps more importantly) it will protect the face of the coffee tamper itself.
If you store your coffee tamper on this high-friction rubber pad, your coffee tamper will not pick up any grit that might otherwise be in your workspace that might scar its face. Your coffee tamper will always rest on a smooth, ridged-rubber base. This coffee tamper pad is inexpensive, and should be a must if you value your coffee tamper.
