When you see baristas performing various strange-looking rituals, such as knocking the portafilter with the tamper, or their hand, or doing the L for loser sign and rotating their thumb and forefinger over the coffee like some deranged individual trying to mock the coffee he or she has just dosed into their portafilter… these are all manual distribution methods. Consistent Pressure - The amount of pressure you apply is simply controlled by a pre-calibrated spring inside the tamper itself.Having said that, in addition to the colour, it looks like a decent tamper too, with Aluminium handle and stainless steel flat 58mm base, and it's available in a range of other colours if you're not a big fan of baby pink.

I really like the look of these tampers – again I quite like the flared shape of the top of the base, the bit where you'll rest your thumb and forefinger.No, tampers vary in size to reflect the size of the portafilter that comes with your coffee machine, which is why I've categorized the tampers above into the most common sizes.
