Dial in tidy, even pucks with the iKape V3 Calibrated Coffee Tamper 51mm Titanium Bottom, All Black. Ideal for De'Longhi users chasing consistent extractions. Learn how it works below or add it to your cart and get pressing.
Smoother Press, Calibrated Consistency
Uneven tamping can cause channeling and thin shots. The IKAPE V3 fixes this with a calibrated coffee tamper 51mm that clicks in at a set pressure, so your routine stays steady day after day.
The titanium plated black base glides on the basket, while the dual spring system keeps the tamper centred for a clean, level surface. It is a simple way to improve balance and body in the cup.
Place your filled 51 mm basket on the bench, rest the tamper flat, then press straight down. The main spring is calibrated to approximately 30 pounds, so you feel when to stop. The centre shaft keeps motion smooth, and the level base leaves a tidy, even puck ready to brew.
