Consistent Tamps, Every Shot
Uneven tamping can lead to channelling and thin body. This IKAPE tamper uses a 30 lb calibrated spring so your press is steady and repeatable, day after day.
The walnut handle sits comfortably in hand, while the titanium plated black base glides on the basket for a smooth press.
Place the 51 mm tamper on your filled basket, press straight down until the mechanism clicks or bottoms out at the 30 lb pressure state, release, then lock in and brew. Repeat the same simple motion for each shot to keep aroma and texture balanced.
