Joe Frex Espresso Level Tamper / Coffee Distributor Stainless Steel 1.2kg

Espresso tamping is a crucial step in preparing espresso, often overlooked. The goal is to compact the coffee grounds into a solid puck, allowing for even water distribution from the espresso machine. Due to the high pressure of the water, the puck must be uniformly compressed and tamped. The water will always flow from high to low pressure, so it's essential to eliminate any weak points in the pellet and ensure consistent water penetration for optimal coffee extraction. This expertly crafted level tamper, with a 58mm diameter and adjustable height/depth, is the ideal tool for achieving this precision.
