58Mm Espresso Tamper 30Lbs Calibrated Coffee Tamper Stainless, Flat Base, Black Why do we tamp coffee for espresso? We tamp the coffee in a portafilter to set the stage for the water to be pushed through the coffee. A properly tamped bed of coffee offers enough resistance to allow flavor and caffeine to be properly extracted. The bed of coffee, or puck as it is called in its tamped state, needs to be consistent. No air pockets. Tamping makes sure that no small pockets of air remain in the basket. You can imagine that when water runs through a bed of coffee with air pockets, the flow of water becomes inconsistent. This is professional barista?s call: channeling. As the water is pushed through the filter, it will find the path of least resistance. Because that is what water does. It finds the path of least resistance. A properly tamped puck in the portafilter will present a solid front to the water. This means that the time water is in contact with ground coffee is the same all the way through the puck. The benefits of a calibrated coffee tamper Tamping is the method a barista will use to take a loosely dosed amount of coffee grounds and turn them into a tightly compressed, evenly dispersed puck within the portafilter, where the water and coffee will come in contact when it?s brewing. Tamping is a key part of making that great shot of espresso, and a quality tamper can contribute to your success Too much tamping pressure can result in a bitter cup and too little pressure can result in a watery shot. There won?t be enough resistance in the grounds to impede the flow of the water. Apply 20-30 pounds of pressure , and Baristas often recommend 30 pounds of pressure. Calibrated tampers are perfect for beginner baristas or pros who want to be 100% sure they applied the correct pressure. In conclusion A calibrated espresso tamper is an essential tool for any coffee enthusiast who wants to take their brewing experience to the next level. By ensuring a consistent and even tamp, a calibrated tamper allows for better control over the extraction process. Further, resulting in a more balanced and flavorful cup of espresso. So, if you?re serious about brewing the perfect cup of coffee at home, consider investing in a calibrated espresso tamper. Your taste buds will thank you!
