Jatropha podagrica, commonly known as the "Buddha Belly Plant" or "Gout Plant," is a unique and attractive succulent shrub belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family. This plant is native to Central America but is now grown as an ornamental plant in various regions around the world. Here's some information about Jatropha podagrica:
The most distinctive feature of Jatropha podagrica is its swollen, bulbous stem, which gives the plant its common names ("Buddha Belly" and "Gout Plant"). The stem can grow to resemble a plump, round belly, making it a conversation piece in gardens and indoor collections.
The plant has attractive, palmately lobed leaves that are typically bright green. The leaves grow on long, arching stems.
In late summer and fall, Jatropha podagrica produces clusters of small, star-shaped, bright red or coral flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies.
This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade. It should receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its compact form and encourage flowering.
Pruning is not usually necessary unless you want to control the plant's size or shape. You can trim back leggy growth or dead stems if needed.
Please note that Jatropha podagrica contains toxic compounds, especially in its seeds, so it should be kept out of reach of children and pets, and you should exercise caution when handling it.

Does Its Job Perfectly
Size: 53.3mm
I’ve had this for years and it’s great. It levels out my grounds perfectly before tamping is very repeatable. I enjoy the ability to adjust the leveling depth to ensure the grounds are perfectly spread regardless of grounds.

Using Normcore Tamper
Size: 53.3mm Flat Base
This tamper is very easy to use and has a perfect weight thanks to the stainless steel build. It evenly tamps the espresso puck, and the 53.3mm fit works flawlessly with my Breville Espresso machine. The puck prep I’m able to achieve has noticeably improved the taste of my espresso. The sleek design is modern, durable, and looks great on my coffee bar.

It's what'd you would expect
Size: 58.5mm Flat Base
I work in espresso professionally and got this as a tester for ergonomic purposes.
It does its job as a tamper and does level with little dusting from it being 58.5mm. The self leveling does work. However depending on my baskets (using vst now) it will.self level where the lowest part of the puck is handle side and highest.part opposite. Not an issue with the tamp but something to be mindful of. Works perfectly well on my gaggia setup...not so much commercial grade. The spring is adequate but i tend to tamp a bit harder on heavy weather days..
Build quality is fine but i would have rather used a regular style tamper.
Also palm tampers pretty much need to be self leveling based on the ergonomic nature.

Solidly constructed and has a premium, hefty weight
Size: 58.5mm
Works exactly as described. Can be a bit heavy but otherwise it is a premium built product. If you have too much coffee in your basket and they're near the rim of it, coffee can get stuck to the sides of the distributor. A little annoying but easily remedied by brushing the grounds back into the basket or by "flattening" the coffee grounds in the basket first prior to distributing.
