A tamper is an indispensable tool for the perfect espresso. Tamping helps to ensure even extraction. Have you ever thought about what happens if the coffee powder is not pressed properly in the portafilter? There is a good chance that the water will run through the filter very quickly. This leads to under-extraction and a watery coffee. Proper tamping ensures an even flow of water through the coffee powder. Balanced extraction is crucial to getting the best aroma out of your coffee.
This solid and durable tamper weighs 360g, so you don't have to apply too much tamper pressure. Its flat bottom offers a perfectly flat surface. With a diameter of 53.4 mm, the tamper is suitable for 54 mm portafilters and filter inserts, which many home espresso machines are equipped with.
