Palm press consistency, every shot
The V4 update changes how you press. With a larger contact area, you tamp with your palm, so the same 30 pounds of force feels easier and more controlled. IKAPE built in dual springs to help you hit that pressure again and again.
A support block keeps the base square while you press, giving a consistent, flat coffee bed that supports balanced extraction in daily use.
Set your 58mm portafilter on a tamping mat, place the 58.5mm palm tamper on the coffee bed, then press straight down with your palm until the spring bottoms out. Release, check the flat surface, lock in, and brew.
