iKape V3 Calibrated Coffee Tamper 53.3mm: Clear Handle
The iKape V3 Calibrated Coffee Tamper 53.3mm, Clear Handle, helps you press an even coffee bed every time. Great for new home baristas and anyone chasing consistent extractions. Learn how it works below, then add it to cart when ready.
Press Evenly, Every Time
The upgraded clear version builds on the V3 design with improved manufacturing and materials for better durability. IKAPE added a dual stage spring and a tougher metal connection so you can tamp straight and repeatably without overthinking it.
In daily use, the calibrated action aims for a steady 30 pounds of pressure, helping keep your coffee puck flat and even. That means fewer channelling issues and more balanced shots.
Set your portafilter on a steady surface. Place the tamper on the coffee bed. Press straight down until the mechanism completes the push. Release, check the level surface, lock in the handle, and pull your shot.
