Barista accessory LF L0405831

This coffee tamper features a metal handle for a comfortable and firm grip. Its precise 53 mm diameter is designed for use with espresso machines that require this specific size.

The operating principle of a coffee tamper is to compress the ground coffee within the portafilter basket. This action creates a dense, even puck of coffee, which is crucial for optimal extraction during the espresso brewing process. An evenly tamped puck allows water to flow through the coffee grounds uniformly, preventing channeling and ensuring a balanced flavour profile in the final espresso shot.

To use the tamper, place the portafilter on a level surface. Position the tamper directly over the coffee grounds, ensuring it is level. Apply firm, consistent downward pressure to compress the grounds. Once tamped, remove the tamper and the portafilter is ready for brewing.

The tamper is constructed with a metal handle. The base of the tamper has a diameter of 53 mm.
