About this deal

Portafilter simply means filter holder, by the way – and if you're asking “well why don't you refer to it as a filter holder?” the answer to that is that calling it a portafilter makes me feel more clever ;-). I've tried other thinner tools, including one that I paid about fifty quid for, and this is my favourite among the ones I've tried. An important attribute to look for is that your tamper fits your portafilter—too small and you won’t get a good, even tamp. Too large and the tamper won’t accomplish anything at all much.

For the best results make sure to distribute your coffee evenly before tamping, you can use our coffee distributors and/or WDT tool for this. That way channeling is a thing of the past. With this Aluminium tamper, you can play around with it and see which pressure seems to work best – if you can't tell any difference, I'd say save your wrists and put it on the lowest pressure setting. I'm not sure if there are any fully calibrated tampers like this at 49mm, but if I'm wrong and there are, let me know and I'll include them here. In theory you could use a thinner pronged tool for both, but I find the thinner needles are a bit too flimsy for deeper WDT, they end up bending, and when they do this I think you potentially end up messing up the higher areas with the bending prongs while distributing the deeper areas. I may be wrong. These are height adjustable which simply means that you can remove the silver ring to make the handle slightly shorter. It weighs 354g, and it seems like quite a lot of tamper for the money.The handle, as you can see, is ball-shaped. Why they've called it “bubble shaped” I'm not sure, the first thing that springs to my mind when I think of a solid round object is a ball, not a bubble. Reminds me of the bloke I've seen driving around in what appears to be a Bentley, which is actually a Chrysler. It's not one of the body kits either, just a badge and alloys I think, haha, I think he's done it tongue in cheek to be fair. Tamper Size Standards A 58mm tamper is often used with commercial and high-end espresso machines (espresso coffee makers), while smaller size options include 57 mm, 53mm, and 49mm tampers. 2. Are calibrated coffee tampers good? The Coffeeworks began as a project involving coffee bloggers (coffee blog readers – so that now includes you), in which I ran a series of polls to find out what readers were looking for. Before I sign off, just to deal with a few commonly asked questions: How hard should you tamp coffee?

This is the WDT tool I usually use in conjunction with the above if I'm using a two-tooled approach. The Luxhaus is about as bare-bones as the best espresso tampers get without skimping on quality metal or meticulous construction, as evidenced by its perfectly balanced handle and base. The handle's conical shape accommodates a range of hand sizes and grips, and at just shy of 14 ounces, this tamper is hefty enough to get the job done with or without a leveler. Now then, this is one of a few Motta tampers you're bound to find here, given that Motta are one of the leading brands of barista accessories, but this one has a completely different handle shape than most tampers I've seen.Over-extract: To pull too many of the soluble flavors from coffee (ends up extra viscous and bitter)

I'm not sure it's correct, most of the weight will be in the base with it being an Aluminium handle, as Alu is lightweight. So if you buy one, please weigh it and let me know. Ta 🙂

Our top picks for espresso tampers

As you press down on the tamper handle, the spring compresses, storing potential energy. When the desired pressure is reached, the internal mechanism releases the spring’s energy, converting it into kinetic energy. This sudden release of energy drives a piston downward onto the base, compressing the coffee with a consistent and precise force.

What you'll find is that you just can't get a proper grip on these plastic scoop tamper things, which doesn't make them at all conducive to a level tamp. Please bear in mind that not all manufacturers provide correct imagery and we may put a similar or alternative image to the actual product for illustration purposes only.The actual item you receive may differ from that which is displayed, for example the box may have changed or a model may have been upgraded or changed after we have added the product online. This one is has a similar shaped handle to the Edesia tamper above, but a slightly more standard shaped base – and comes with a tamper mat, for the tamper to sit in.Cons: Only comes in three sizes, we wish it had visible measurements so you could change between depth calibrations without having to guess The latest machine from them, though, the Bambino– the base level of the Bambino Plus, comes with a plastic tamper! Another calibrated tamper, which possibly isn't actually calibrated as such, but has a stiff spring which is designed to help your tamping to be more consistent. An uneven and sloppily tamped filter will have less dense regions. What many non-professional baristas don’t realize is that this creates a phenomenon known as channeling. The reason it's important to get a level surface is that an uneven surface can promote channeling, which is what happens when water under pressure finds paths of least resistance through the coffee, leading to uneven extraction and therefore poor tasting espresso, or at least poorer than it would have tasted if it hadn't have channeled. What type of coffee tamper is best?
