Level tamp, same pressure, every shot
Uneven tamping makes espresso taste thin or harsh. The IKAPE V3 removes guesswork with a self levelling ring and a spring set to about 30 lb. You get a level coffee bed with the same pressure each time.
In daily use, the concentric, rippled base guides your tamp and leaves a tidy pattern on the puck. IKAPE keeps it simple, so you can focus on grind and yield.
Place the tamper on your prepped 58 mm basket. Lower until the ring meets the basket rim, then press down until the spring stops at about 30 lb. Lift straight up. Lock in the portafilter and pull your shot.
