The art of making espresso is a skill that requires precision, and the right tools can make all the difference. One such tool is the espresso tamper. At Tenvega, we offer a range of espresso tampers designed to help you brew the perfect espresso.
What is an Espresso Tamper?
An espresso tamper is a tool used to compress, or ‘tamp’ the coffee grounds into the portafilter basket of an espresso machine. This process ensures an even extraction and a perfect espresso shot.
How to Use an Espresso Tamper
- Fill the Portafilter: Start by filling your portafilter with freshly ground coffee. The coffee should be ground to a consistency similar to table salt.
- Level the Grounds: Use your finger to level the coffee grounds in the portafilter. This ensures an even distribution of coffee.
- Tamp the Grounds: Place the tamper on top of the coffee grounds and apply pressure. The amount of pressure isn’t as important as the consistency of pressure from shot to shot.
- Clean the Edges: Wipe off any excess grounds from the edges of the portafilter. This ensures a clean seal when you attach the portafilter to the espresso machine.
- Brew Your Espresso: Attach the portafilter to your espresso machine and start the brewing process.
