Yolococa 58mm Calibrated Espresso Tamper 30Lbs Pressure Stainless Steel Calibrated Pressure Tamper For Coffee And Espresso,Black

Product Information

Burr grinder: A mill designed to crush coffee beans between two abrasive surfaces set a particular distance apart (determined by the user) The action of tamping is a verb – you tamp coffee, you don't tamper coffee – in the same way, that you use a shaver to shave a beard, but you don't shaver a beard, or maybe you do? ;-). Over-extract: To pull too many of the soluble flavors from coffee (ends up extra viscous and bitter)

Another standout product is this wooden tamper, which surprisingly offers excellent value for money and a well-executed design inspired by the much more expensive Pullman Big Step model.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. 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. You can have the best grinder and the best coffee machine but unless you're using great coffee, you won't get great espresso.

Leveler/distributor: A new category of tamping tools has gained a lot popularity in recent years. Some people use the so-called leveler before tamping, while others think that it’s not necessary to tamp when using this tool.Before I sign off, just to deal with a few commonly asked questions: How hard should you tamp coffee? I really like Sage Sage coffee machines and one of the great things about them, apart from the fact that they're usually really clever machines and punch way above their weight in terms of value for money, is that they usually come with proper tampers. This is another great deal from Shop Coffee, as this is a really well known brand, who produce some decent stuff, and this tamper is cheaper than some of the other non-branded (or branded with unknown brand names) tampers. These tools work on the surface only, and they do nothing with distribution, even though they're often sold as “distribution tools” or “coffee distributors”, they level the surface, so they're levelers. It has a replaceable base, which is handy if you accidentally drop the tamper and get a dent in that crucial tamping surface that must be smooth.
