Consistent Brew- Get consistent distribution and pressure every time making it easy to pull your perfect shot right at home, Leveling your grounds before tamping creates a uniform and consistent tamp.
Adjustable Depth - Set your desired tamping depth for consistent tamping pressure every time.
Dual Head- Distributor/Leveler and tamper are designed in one, double sides are available.
Pro Tips- Ensure your portafilter basket is fully dosed with coffee grinds to get the right amount of pressure from the tamper for a tighter pack and richer flavor. For best results, groom the top of the basket with a finger or flat edge before leveling and tamping. Brew with good, filtered water.
A key variable in making a great shot of espresso is achieving a consistent tamp. Tamping your grounds unevenly, or with too little or too great of a tamping pressure, will cause the water to extract through your grounds inconsistently, resulting in poor quality espresso. Unevenly tamped grounds can cause cracks or channels in the coffee puck during extraction, and tamping too hard or too soft and cause the shot to pull too slow, or too fast.
Quick, easy and consistent.
HOW IT WORKS:
STEP 1 - Load your portafilter basket with the desired amount of freshly ground coffee.
STEP 2—Retract the distributor side to its shallowest depth and place it on your portafilter, blade side down.
STEP 3 - Gently spin the distributor until your coffee grounds have been evenly distributed and leveled. If the distributor does not reach the coffee, adjust the depth accordingly. Note: you do not want to apply heavy pressure to the grounds at this stage -- only enough to level the coffee in the basket.
STEP 4 - Flip the distributor over and extend the tamper (flat side) to its maximum height. Tamp your grounds to your desired pressure.
STEP 5 - For consistent tamping every time, adjust the tamper depth so it matches the depth of the tamp you created in Step 4.
