Why is tamping necessary?
A: Tamping is necessary for you to fully enjoy the richness and bold flavor ofa properly made espresso. The purpose of doing so is so that water will need to force its way through the coffee grounds, thereby allowing for more time for it to extract the flavor from the coffee. This results in the perfect shot of espresso. -
How do I know what tamp size of buy?
A: Please note that actual measurement of your filter basket is always the most reliable method; although we went to much effort to validate the following sizes, we cannot guarantee them as sometimes variations are made by manufacturers within a given model or based on the year the machine was manufactured.

1s this a “301h” tamper?
A: We do not advertise a specific tamping pressure for our calibrated tampers, A consistent tamp is far more important as it allows you to dial in all the other factors related to coffee taste. Making espresso is all about precision. Tiny changes in temperature, pressure, dose, and yield can turn a delicious shot into something so bitter it’s undrinkable.
