Bigger Press Area, Easier, Straighter Tamps
The updated V4 push method gives a larger press contact area, so tamping with your palm feels easier at the same 30 pounds of pressure. Your puck sits flatter, your shots run more predictably.
Built by IKAPE, this calibrated design uses dual springs to deliver consistent 30 pound tamping without guesswork. Pair it with a mat from our tamping range for a tidy bench.
Set your dose in the basket and level it. Place the 51mm palm tamper on the basket. Press down with your palm until the spring stops. Lift straight up, check the flat surface, then lock in and brew.
