Description
The PUQ Gen 5 M3 is a compact, under-grinder automatic tamper engineered specifically to pair with Mahlkonig's E65S and E65 GBW espresso grinders.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Which grinders is the PUQ Gen 5 M3 compatible with?
The Gen 5 M3 is specifically designed to integrate under Mahlkonig's E65S and E65 GBW grinders. Its under-grinder form factor is optimized for these models, making installation as simple as placing the M3 beneath the grinder and plugging it in. For other grinder brands, the standard M-series or Q-series PUQ models may be a better fit.
How do I know which portafilter size to order?
Your portafilter size is determined by your espresso machine brand and model. Common sizes: 58.0mm covers most commercial brands (La Marzocco GS3 excluded), 58.3mm is needed for La Marzocco, Synesso, and VST, 57.3mm is for Unic machines, 54.0mm covers Dalla Corte and San Marco, and 53.0mm is for Spaziale. Check the portafilter size chart in the product resources or feel free to reach out to us if you're unsure.
Does the M3 require any special installation or wiring?
No - the Gen 5 M3 is designed for plug-and-grind simplicity. You position it directly beneath your Mahlkonig grinder and plug it into a standard 110V outlet. There are no complex installation steps, no external wiring, and no downtime. It's one of the most straightforward automatic tamper installations available.
What does the 24-month warranty cover?
The manufacturer-backed warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship under normal use conditions for 2 years, with unlimited tamps. It does not cover labor costs, shipping, technician travel, misuse, unauthorized modifications, or normal wear and tear on consumable components. Warranty claims must be authorized prior to repair, and proof of purchase may be required.
What is Lifetime Pro Support?
Lifetime Pro Support is an included service that gives you access to the Pro Coffee Gear technical team for the life of your equipment. This covers pre-install guidance, troubleshooting, barista workflow questions, maintenance scheduling advice, and equipment strategy. The team is available Monday through Friday, 10am - 6pm CST, via appointment, email, phone, or text.
Is this tamper suitable for a home espresso setup?
The PUQ Gen 5 M3 is engineered for commercial use and is specifically designed to work under the Mahlkonig E65S and E65 GBW - commercial-grade grinders. While it would technically work in a high-end home setup using those grinders, it is primarily designed and priced for cafe and professional environments. Home baristas with a different grinder setup may want to explore the broader PUQ Q-series lineup.
