TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTSTIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
3
After removing the tamper, some grinds
may stick to the side of the filter basket.
Tap the portafilter gently on the table
to jostle loose grinds onto the tamped
coffee disc� Do not tap too hard, or the
tamped coffee will dislodge or fracture�
5
Inspect your tamp� The coffee disc
should be smooth and level with no
gaps between the side of the filter
basket and the coffee.
4
Apply a second, finishing tamp (also
called a polishing tamp)� Press straight
down on the coffee with about 2.4 bars
of pressure, then relax the force slightly
(to about 1.4 bars) and polish the coffee
by turning the tamper completely
around twice�
Measuring Tamping Pressure
1.4 bars, 2.0 bars – how do you know how
much tamping force you are actually using? Do
what the baristas do: use a bathroom scale!
Place a scale on a table or countertop, and
tamp your coffee on top of it� Pretty soon, you
will develop a feel for how much 1�4 or 2�0
bars of force is.
