Aside from the coffee distributor tool, a coffee tamper is essential for brewing coffee too! Coffee tampers are appliances that are used to pack espresso grounds into an espresso machine’s basket. A tamper’s job is to equally pack the grounds for a quality shot. You’re basically converting a loose mound of ‘dosed’ grounds into a firmly compressed cake inside the basket.
Here are some of the benefits of using a coffee tamper:
- Allows all flavours to soak up the ground beans more evenly.
- Lowers the risks of channeling and subsequent under-extraction.
- Compresses the grinds into a puck with a uniform distribution.
- By creating a more thick coffee mass, you can reduce the number of vacant gaps.
