The Golden Four, made consistent
Uneven grounds can create channels that rush water and throw off balance. The IKAPE V3 tamper packs your puck evenly so water flows through the coffee bed at a steady rate. That means cleaner shots and fewer sinkers.
With a calibrated main spring set to 30 pounds, this IKAPE design helps you press with the same force every time. The upgraded cylindrical centre shaft keeps the motion smooth for day in, day out espresso.
Set your dose, distribute and settle the basket. Place the 53.3 mm tamper flat on the basket, press straight down until the spring stops, then release. Give the rim a quick wipe, lock in and pull your shot. Enjoy consistent aroma and body.
