These? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07L3NQ9RY/
No, I just use a normal tamper.

For some unknown reason, my Gaggia came with a 52mm rather than 58mm tamper. I'm finally going to buy the right size. Does anyone use the funny shaped ones? Or is it a gimmick and I should just get a flat one.
No, just get a normal flat one. Convex and textured bottoms were just a fad in the late 00s. I accidentally bought a Motta with a convex base and it made a completely lousy espresso. They make the puck flow in all the wrong places.

Get a 58.4mm, the 58mm is waaaaaaaaaay too small... Less wiggle, so tight, OMFG... 💦
