Know before you buy
The tamper emits a distinct audible click once you have applied the full 30lbs of pressure. This provides immediate confirmation that you have achieved the correct compression, eliminating the need to guess if your tamp is level or firm enough.
No, the pressure is calibrated to a fixed 30lbs. This design is intended to remove variables from your workflow and ensure consistent puck density across every shot you pull.
You should measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket precisely. Most standard commercial-style machines use 58mm, but it is essential to verify your specific model's requirements to ensure a snug fit and even extraction.
Yes, the design of the Flash Tamper 2.0 helps maintain a level surface during the compression process. By applying even, vertical force, it reduces the likelihood of channeling caused by an uneven coffee bed.
This tamper is designed specifically for non-pressurized, professional-style portafilters. It is not recommended for use with pressurized baskets, as those systems do not require the same tamping technique or pressure consistency.
