iKape V3 Calibrated Coffee Tamper 53.3mm: Black
The iKape V3 Calibrated Coffee Tamper 53.3mm, Black, helps you press an even coffee puck with repeatable force. Ideal for home baristas chasing consistent extractions. Learn more below or add it to cart for tidy, reliable tamping.
Stop Channeling, Start Consistency
Uneven grounds can form clumps and gaps that send water on the wrong path. The result is thin body and harsh notes. IKAPE designed this calibrated coffee tamper to compact the puck evenly so water passes through at a steady rate.
With a main spring set to 30 pounds and a balanced guide spring, you press straight down with the same force each time. That simple habit lifts shot consistency across your week.
Set your grind and dose, level the basket, then place the tamper flat on the basket. Press down until the spring stops, release, and polish if you like. The cylindrical centre shaft keeps the motion smooth, so the puck is uniform and ready to extract.
