Should we tampear?

Tamping is the way in which the barista takes a certain amount of ground coffee and compresses it into a disk, distributed as evenly as possible inside the portafilter, where the water and the coffee will come into contact during its preparation.

It is necessary?

Of course, yes, since the coffee must be compacted in a sufficient way so that a small space is made between the top of the coffee and the place through which the water leaves the machine.
The other reason for tamping is so that the water absorbs all the properties of the coffee.

Recommendations for tamping:

- When you press your manipulation it has to be straight and your elbow is bent around a 90 degree angle. You have to feel the pressure from your shoulder and triceps, and the force doesn't have to feel like it ends at your wrist.

- Be careful as uneven tamping means an uneven extraction will be made.

- The amount of pressure that is exerted must be constant, since consistency is always the key.

What should you keep in mind?

The most important thing is that you buy the one with which you think you will work more comfortable and that it is of quality so that the tool can withstand day-to-day use.

It is also very important to know the diameter of your filter holder, so that you can buy the right size.

For all this that we have told you, if you already know what your machine diameter is, this   58.4mm Tamper Motta is a highly demanded option among all baristas.
