Is the 50mm really 50mm? I just received another similar item "Espresso Tamper 50 & 60 Mm Sizes Cast Alloy Hand Coffee" But the 50mm side was too tight to fit....

Measured mine just under 50/55 at 49.46 and 54.77

What metal is made of

Not sure. It's light, might be cast aluminum. It's very shiny, solid and works great though, I love it. Haven't put it through the washer, no need because it doesn't get very messy, plus if it is aluminum, it might lose it's shine.

is it stainless steel

Nope. The description says, "Made from heavyweight aluminum". Not exactly sure how that differs from standard aluminium but there you go.

WHAT is a tamper used for - what do you tamp?

This is prinarlly used for compacting the coffee foe espresso.. Fill the adapter w/ coffee, compact with the large dia.. Keep doing again sfter some more coffee powder.. Then compact with the smaller end so that the surface of coffee is below the compactor rim.. Load the adpater in the coffee machine tight.. You will get a good espresso at the end.. Good luck
