The importance of distributing before tamping
When I (Jasper) was just starting out as a home barista, my coffee turned out different every time. This meant a happy surprise some of the time, but other times (okay… most times) a sour espresso.
Makes sense, considering that my puck prep was also a long shot from consistent, using the standard DeLonghi tamper as an all-purpose barista tool. Not anymore.
There are a lot of gadgets that help you get your coffee into your filter basket more neatly: from a classic coffee distributor to a WDT tool. But where was I supposed to put all that, in my humble little coffee corner?
A tamper & distributor combination tool was the answer for me. It helped me noticeably improve my espresso and saved space around my machine
