The Bloc Party brings together three parts of our approach to espresso preparation: the BT Wedge for distribution, the New Levy for tamping and the original Bloc to support the work and collect the spent puck.

American hardwood gives the Bloc its form, with a removable stainless steel reservoir inside. The tools pair precision-machined stainless steel with your choice of finish, bringing the set together through materials as well as purpose.

What's included

  • Bloc: hardwood tamping station and knock box with a removable stainless steel reservoir
  • BT Wedge: adjustable-depth coffee distribution tool
  • New Levy: adjustable-depth espresso tamper
  • Bachmann Accu Drive markings: included on both tools

Choose your setup

Start with your timber, choose a finish for both tools, then select 53.3 mm or 58.3 mm bases to suit your basket. That diameter is the tool size, not a universal portafilter-fit rating for the Bloc.

The BT Wedge handles distribution before the New Levy takes over for the tamp. Both have adjustable depth and numbered Accu Drive markings, so you can find your setting again without starting from scratch.

Watch the Bachmann Accu Drive Numeric System tutorial.

Made with character

Natural variations in grain and tone are part of working with hardwood. Each Bloc carries the character of its timber, giving the finished set its own appearance.
