Get consistent, easy tamping with the iKape V4 Palm Tamper 53.3mm Stainless Steel Base, Black. Ideal for Breville 54 mm setups and anyone chasing reliable extractions. Learn more below or add to cart and dial in your routine.
Palm press consistency, every single shot
The larger palm press contact of the IKAPE V4 makes tamping simple and steady. You press with your palm, the tool applies a firm, even force across the puck so channels are less likely.
Inside, IKAPE uses a calibrated spring set to around 30 pounds. That helps you repeat your tamp pressure shot after shot with minimal effort.
Set your dose, level your grounds, then place the tamper on the basket. Press down with your palm until the spring meets its stop. Lift straight up, lock in the portafilter, and pull your shot. Clean, repeatable, quick.
