Precise tamping for better extraction
Properly tamped coffee is the foundation of a great-tasting espresso. This tamper allows you to apply even pressure to the coffee grounds, minimising the risk of channelling where water runs through too quickly. The flat base ensures even pressure across the entire coffee puck, resulting in uniform extraction and a more balanced flavour.
Comfortable grip and professional weight
The ergonomic handle in African blackwood sits comfortably in the hand and provides excellent control during tamping. At 380 grams, the tamper has a professional weight that helps you achieve the recommended pressure of 15–20 kg with which the coffee grounds should be compressed. The combination of weight and comfortable grip reduces strain on the wrist and makes the tamping process more pleasant, even with repeated use.
