The Benefits of a Coffee Tamper

Even Extraction

Coffee tampers apply even pressure to your coffee grounds, promoting uniform water flow and a more balanced, aromatic extraction for your drink.

Enhanced Taste

Proper use of a coffee tamper reduces channelling in the coffee puck, resulting in a richer, smoother, and more consistent espresso flavour.

Professional Results

Using a high quality coffee tamper helps you to achieve café-style espresso, both at home and in coffee shop environments, with far greater reliability.

How To Use a Coffee Tamper

Firstly, spoon your ground coffee into your portafilter, evening it out using a pronged distribution tool. Then, press the grounds down firmly by placing your tamper on top of your portafilter and applying even pressure to create a level, compact puck. Then, insert the portafilter into the machine as normal to brew a balanced, flavourful espresso shot.
