Coffee Tamper Pressure at Tracy Dibenedetto blog

Coffee Tamper Pressure. Today we explain the what, why, and how of tamping. You want about 30 pounds of pressure. Begin with light pressure, then gradually increase it until the coffee grounds are tamped down firmly. In order to make the perfect shot of espresso, the coffee's got to be under pressure—not only from the water being pushed out of the espresso machine, but also from the barista herself. At maximum density, the tamper will stop moving. You must grind the coffee just fine enough, and tamp it down in the filter basket just firmly and uniformly enough, so that the barrier of ground coffee resists the pressure of the hot water sufficiently to produce a slow dribble of dark, rich liquid. One tip is to lean slightly over the tamper, using your body weight to help. To find out how little pressure is required try slowly increasing the pressure you apply with the tamper. Apply firm, consistent pressure on the tamper. Aim for approximately 30 pounds of pressure. Here are a few tips for delivering a graceful and effective tamp: Hold the tamper level and apply even pressure.
