  •   Sempervivum braunii is a hardy cold-tolerant succulent belonging to the houseleek family, prized for its exceptional frost tolerance and easy care nature. This drought tolerant alpine native originates from mountainous regions of Europe where it thrives in rocky, challenging conditions.

      Sempervivum braunii forms distinctive rosettes with thick, fleshy leaves that create the classic "hens and chicks" clustering growth pattern. The compact rosettes display beautiful color variations from green to reddish-bronze, with pointed leaf tips that give each rosette a star-like appearance. This low maintenance succulent develops tight clusters as it matures, creating an impressive ground-covering display.

      Sempervivum braunii produces tall flower stalks with small star-shaped blooms when mature, typically requiring nighttime temperature drops to trigger flowering. This beginner succulent handles balcony wind and rain well but needs cover from excessive moisture during dormant periods. The plant is completely pet friendly, making it safe for households with curious cats and dogs.

      Sempervivum braunii excels as an outdoor succulent for rock gardens, containers, and xeriscaping projects where its cold hardy nature shines. This easy care succulent can move outside for summer, stay outdoors through autumn, and survives neglect beautifully - even handling 10-day trips alone. Collectors appreciate its reliable clustering habit and ability to thrive in drafty spots where other plants struggle.

  •   Sempervivum braunii thrives in full sun to partial sun but needs rotating for even growth.

      Sempervivum braunii requires infrequent watering, typically every 1-2 weeks when soil is completely dry.

      Sempervivum braunii grows best in well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix with added perlite.

      Sempervivum braunii tolerates temperatures from 20-80°F (-7 to 27°C) and is highly frost tolerant.

      Sempervivum braunii grows slowly and rarely needs fertilizer, preferring lean soil conditions naturally.

      Sempervivum braunii thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3-9, tolerating frost down to -20°F (-29°C) or lower. This makes it suitable for growing across most of the continental United States, including cold-winter states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Alaska. The plant also flourishes in moderate climates found in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
  • Q: How often should I water my Sempervivum braunii?
    A: Water Sempervivum braunii only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 1-2 weeks. This drought tolerant succulent prefers infrequent, deep watering over frequent light watering.

    Q: How fast does Sempervivum braunii grow and spread?
    A: Sempervivum braunii grows slowly but steadily produces offsets in a clustering pattern. The mother rosette gradually creates "chicks" around its base, forming attractive colonies over time.

    Q: What type of soil is best for Sempervivum braunii?
    A: Sempervivum braunii thrives in well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix. Add extra perlite or coarse sand to ensure excellent drainage and prevent root rot.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency. There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy. This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!

Quality and Function
Looks like a silly little thing, I am not a coffee enthusiast. But it does exactly what it is supposed to do and with high quality. The device (a stretch to call it that) is made of sturdy materials including the needles. They give you two different thicknesses of needles, one for expressi (0.3) and one set for coffee grinds (0.4). Each comes wth some spares. The stand is well designed and keeps grinds from spreading all over. It is very elegant design. I use this with a dosing funnel on my portafilter. Not the cheapest one could buy but well worth the money.
