IKAPE Coffee Tamper V3 – Black

The new Black Series Tamp Bottom features a titanium plating process to create a black bottom, providing a cooler surface for the coffee tamper.

Equipped with built-in dual springs, the V3 coffee tamper includes a main spring calibrated at 30 pounds of pressure for optimal pressing, while the second spring maintains balance during use to prevent uneven coffee powder distribution.

Enhanced with a cylindrical center shaft, the V3 espresso tamper offers smoother pressing and prolonged durability, eliminating any potential stalls. Crafted from food-grade 304 stainless steel and aluminum alloy, this high-quality material ensures a healthier option that is safe for human use.

The ergonomically designed handle of the IKAPE coffee tamper allows for a comfortable grip and balanced force application, preventing fatigue during use.

Proper tamping is essential for consistently extracting coffee flavors. It involves achieving uniform water flow through the coffee grounds, which is crucial for optimal flavor extraction. The quality of tamping is determined by two key factors: levelness and pressure.

Coffee tampers makes a firm, compressed coffee "puck". This puck is key for great espresso. A good coffee tamp gives even flavour as water flows evenly through the coffee grounds. This stops "channeling", where water takes the easy route and doesn't unlock the taste potential of your coffee. Pressure also matters - Coffee tampers help the machine build pressure and this pressure pulls out the coffee's full flavour.

The bottom line is that a well-tamped coffee shot will taste better!

How? Use even pressure when using a coffee tamper. Press down flat and firm on the coffee. Don't press too hard, though as too much pressure makes bitter espresso. After tamping, wipe away extra coffee. Remember to always keep the portafilter clean.
