Good Tamping is not Easy
When I (Jasper) first started as a home barista, I noticed that my espresso always tasted different. Inconsistent and sour (this was due to channeling, for those in the know).
With the bottomless portafilter, I could see the problem: I was clearly tamping at an angle. There’s good tamping, and then there’s good, consistent, level tamping. Quite a challenge!
I was looking for a tool that evenly distributes the ground coffee and a tamper that could be adjusted in depth to always tamp consistently and level.
That’s how this Tamper & Distributor was born! A simple action with a big effect.
