Consistent Tamps, Less Channeling
Uneven pucks can cause water to shoot through weak spots. That leads to harsh notes and thin body. IKAPE designed this tamper to press the coffee bed evenly so water flows through the entire puck.
A built-in calibration at 30 pounds gives you steady pressure every time. The cylindrical centre shaft guides a smooth, straight push so you can repeat the same result day after day.
Place your 51 mm basket on a flat surface. Distribute grounds, then set the tamper on the basket. Press down until the calibrated spring reaches its stop, then release. Lock in and pull your shot, enjoying a more balanced aroma and body.
