Stop channeling, start consistent shots
Uneven grounds can cause channeling, weak body and messy extractions. The IKAPE V3 tamper applies a set, repeatable force to compress grounds into a uniform puck so water flows evenly.
With a cylindrical centre shaft and dual springs, IKAPE keeps the action smooth and balanced. Less guesswork, more dependable espresso.
Set your dose and grind, fill the basket, then place the 53.3mm tamper on the portafilter. Press straight down until the calibrated spring clicks into place, then release. Lock in and extract for a tidy puck and steady stream.
