The Minor Bloc Espresso Tamp Station

Espresso Prep Platform

The Minor Bloc is a focused evolution of our original Bloc.
Preparation, separated from disposal.
Form, refined to purpose.
No knock chamber.
No excess.
Just a dedicated hardwood platform built for precise espresso work.

Engineered for Fit

Multiple precision-milled cutouts accommodate:

• Spouted portafilters
• Bottomless portafilters
• 53 mm to 58 mm formats

Designed to properly support the portafilter during tamping — securely and consistently. 

Each Minor Bloc includes two removable rubber tamp mats:

• One for spouted portafilters.
• One for bottomless portafilters.

Swap in seconds for proper support and stability, regardless of setup.

Dimensions

146 mm × 146 mm × 60 mm
Compact in footprint. Substantial in presence.
At 60 mm tall, the Minor Bloc carries the mass and stability required for serious tamping while maintaining a clean profile on the counter.
