Espresso Tampers

This uniform compression ensures proper extraction by creating a consistent surface for water to pass through, leading to a more balanced and flavorful espresso shot.

What is an espresso tamper?

The perfect espresso requires precision. When measured, you need your coffee to be compressed in order to achieve an even extraction around your portafilter. Espresso tools give you the advantage in achieving absolute perfection.

Why use an espresso distributor?

Even Distribution: Consistent extraction through evenly distributed coffee grounds 

Reduces Channeling: Proper distribution reduces the risk of channeling, which occurs when water finds paths of least resistance through the coffee puck during extraction.

Espresso Distributors

An espresso distributor is another small but critical tool. It serves a valuable role in the espresso-making process. Its primary function is to evenly distribute coffee grounds within the portafilter basket before tamping.

Coffee Tamper Science

Water under high pressure (typically 9 bars in an espresso machine) is forced through the puck. If the coffee tamping is too light, water flows too quickly, under-extracting the coffee. If it’s too heavy, it may overly restrict the flow, leading to over-extraction or no flow at all. If the puck’s surface is uneven, water pressure can concentrate on the lower areas, creating unequal extraction zones. A coffee tamper is key to consistency!
