The Problem

Consistent tamping pressure is critical for brewing espresso with balanced flavours. Manual tamping often leads to uneven pressure, resulting in channelling, poor extraction, and inconsistent taste. This challenge is compounded when working with varying grind sizes or multiple coffee types.

• 30lb Constant Pressure: Maintains a reliable pressure level for improved espresso flavour and consistency.


• Adaptive Height Adjustment: Accommodates different grind sizes, making it versatile for various coffee types and brewing methods.


• Tamping Feedback: Provides audible confirmation when the desired pressure is achieved, enhancing precision and control.


• Threaded Base: Increases water-to-coffee contact, improving extraction efficiency and flavor depth.

How It Works

• 1. Prepare: Measure and add coffee grounds to your portafilter.


• 2. Distribute: Use a distributor to level the coffee bed evenly.


• 3. Tamp: Apply the tamper vertically until you hear the audible feedback indicating the 30lb pressure has been achieved.
