I know this tamper is expensive but it makes tamping a snap. It tamps perfect every time. A definite must have if you can afford it.
Consistency is KEY!
This is great for two reasons:
1. Consistency amongst baristas—we have a shop with people who have varying levels of experience pulling espresso. This tamper takes at least one variable out of the equation for us in ensuring that everyone tamps the coffee the same.
2. Simplicity—standard tampers are so much more fickle if you don’t know what you’re doing. Too much or too little pressure can make or break the puck and shot. With this the margin for error is gone.
Yes it’s kinda expensive, but you get what you pay for—there’s no going back.
This tamper doesn't have the heft and finish quality I associate with the Bravo levelers and tampers (they are pricier too), but this is only self-leveling tamper that I've found that fits La San Marco 55 mm baskets used on the ACS Vostok (inside diameter of these baskets are 54.5mm). This tamper clicks at calibrated levels that can be adjusted. The only disquieting aspect of this tamper is that it clicks, imparting a short impulse tamp; that is, instead of increasing spring resistance that one finds on several other calibrated tampers. This impulse dislodges any loose grounds that may be between the leveler and the tamper head, or along the edges of the filter basket. This tamper was game-changing when introduced in 2017. If you're not using a self-leveling tamper, this one will improve shot consistency significantly. For LSM group lever machines make sure that you order the 54.01mm tamper, not the Breville compatible size (53.5).
Soo much better than manual tamping, fully adjustable and extremely well built. I imagine it produces the same pressure punch on every use, however i dont have equipment to test that, never an issue for me though, worth the money
As I shuffle into the kitchen in my slippers and bathrobe early in the morning, groggy and functioning on two brain cells pre-coffee, I want things to be easy and simple. This gadget, really a sophisticated tool, helps achieve my goal of making two double ristretto cappuccinos simple. Puck prep is ridiculously easy. Always level. Always tamped to 30 pounds. Always a satisfying snap/thump when proper tamp pressure achieved.
This gadget is another one of life's little pleasures.
P.S.: Try this. Throw on a puck scree then tamp to get better results.
