Not having one I can only guess and it is the positioning of the two washers that escapes me...

Would suggest you go here http://www.macap.it/ and contact them... I am sure they would have a exploded diag that they could send...

Thanks,

I sent a mail to Macap in Italy... fingers Xed they can help me put this thing back together.!

is a nice tamper, but LOUD..
if your grinder or the espresso machine pump dont wake up your wife, this tamper WILL.. the CLICK is like a gun shot..

I have the Espro which I like a bit better, is a little heavier, low profile design and the click is very smooth..

thanks again,
Juanjo

B: Yes ... But not too strong..

A: What do you mean ... Isnt my coffee good enough.

B: What is that you have in your hand !!!

A: Just what you need !!   ( Click on Tamper)

Great to hear... ;D

Now the trick is to remember how you did it and to do it without the wine
