The IKAPE coffee tamper comes with an ergonomically designed handle for comfortable and fatigue-free use.

A tamper is an essential tool for packing espresso grounds into the basket of an espresso machine or stovetop maker. It ensures the grounds are evenly packed to produce the best shot of espresso. While using a tamper is not complicated, there are different styles to choose from and a proper technique to follow.

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.
