Product Information

It’s far better being consistent and tamping the same way every time, instead of seeing it as some kind of biceps powerlifting exercise. I'm not going to properly get into the discussion of distribution here, because it's a topic for another completely separate post, but I'll briefly introduce you to distribution just in case it's something you've not yet come across. This innovative system utilizes a spring to create a sudden, controlled impact force for compressing coffee, ensuring consistent results with each use. Calibrated tampers are perfect for beginner baristas or pros who want to be 100% sure they applied the correct pressure. This video explains calibrated tampers in depth. 3. Are espresso tampers the same size?

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. Depending on the style of tamper you choose, our tampers have a specific weight. Although the weight does not impact results, you might have a personal preference: 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. As you might know, tamping properly is crucial for a good extraction. You can’t go wrong with the classic design of our tampers, a proven concept for a good grip while tamping.Basically, if you press it until it stops, there's a stiff spring that is designed to help your temp to be more consistent, but whether we can actually call this calibrated – not sure, but they do.

If you're looking for bigger jumps in your home espresso game, though, once you've got yourself a better tamper, the next thing I'd consider is the grinder situation. 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. Anyway, these particles can gather in clumps, and this is especially true with certain grinders, even more so with grinders towards the entry-level. Distributing the coffee essentially means to break up the clumps and more evenly distributing the ground coffee.This is completely down to the individual. I personally prefer handled tampers to flat tampers, and I prefer heavier weight bases with wooden handles. I'm not a big fan of the all-metal tampers, as I just find wood is a bit nicer to hold than metal, but each to their own.

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? One of which is the simple and inexpensive action of improving their tamper and some of the others are equally as easy and similar in terms of cost! To a certain degree, regardless of what your espresso machine is, you could always upgrade it, and becoming a home barista often comes with the pandemic condition known as upgradeitis. The latest machine from them, though, the Bambino– the base level of the Bambino Plus, comes with a plastic tamper!It's basically a palm tamper, so instead of having a tamper which requires you to grip a handle and press down, you can push down with the palm of your hand, or I suppose any part of your anatomy providing you're careful to keep it level. The tamper is also equipped with an auto-level disc and includes 3 calibrated springs (15lb/25lb/30lb) , so you can achieve a consistent tamp with just the right pressure every time. The tampers that come with many espresso machines are at best questionable. If you’re only going to be using a pressurized basket, then that might not be a problem. But if you want to make legit espresso, then you need a better tamper for more precision and repeatability. Here are a few variables to remember:
