A tamper must fit properly first

A tamper that is too tight or leaves too much room is awkward to use. Therefore, don't just look at the size on the packaging, but check your own filter basket.

  • The size is not clear

    Measure the inside dimensions of the filter basket and compare them with the tamping surface.

  • You’re pressing unevenly.

    Place the tamper flat on the ground coffee and press down steadily.

  • Harder is not always better

    A stable, straight movement is more important than repeatedly exerting extra force.
