Basket internal diameters vary between machines and between basket brands, and some run a little wider than 58 mm, which can leave a thin untamped ring at the edge.

Ours is 58 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a calibrated tamper better than a regular one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's different rather than better. A spring tamper gives you a repeatable feel and makes it easier to seat the puck level without pressing harder on one side. What it doesn't do is change your shot through pressure alone — controlled testing has found that tamping force, within the range people actually apply, makes little measurable difference to extraction.
