Tamper, Répartiteur de mouture & WDT Tool

Tamping is the process of pressing the coffee grounds into the filter holder of your portafilter espresso machine.
It is important that the grounds are well distributed and pressed on exactly straight. Even a slight misalignment causes an uneven brewing process. The tamper, also known as the coffee grounds press or press plunger, should sit well in the hand and be pressed onto the coffee grounds with about 15 to 20 kg of pressure. The diameter of the tamper should be adapted to the sieve, and the contact surface can be convex (more for single servings) or straight (more for double servings)
