Adjustable coffee tampers

What is a pressure regulating tamper and why use it?

A pressure-regulating tamper allows baristas to control and precisely adjust the force they use when tamping coffee in the lever. This tool ensures that the pressure on the ground coffee is consistent, leading to better and more consistent espresso extraction. Brands like Espro, Clockwork Espresso and Motta offer tamping tools that make it easy to achieve optimal pressure with every use.

What are the advantages of a tamper with regulation over a conventional one?

Regulated tampers provide consistent pressure, ensuring repeatable results when making espresso. This eliminates the risk of over- or under-pressurisation of the coffee, which can have a negative effect on the taste of the final drink. Brands like Barista Space and Happy Tamper offer regulated models that give you precise control over your coffee preparation.

How to choose a regulated frother for your coffee machine?

When choosing a regulated frother, it's important to consider compatibility with your coffee machine. In our e-shop you can find frothers compatible with models from manufacturers such as Rocket Espresso, Nuova Simonelli, ECM, Gaggia or La Marzocco. You can filter the frothers by brand of coffee machine to make the choice as easy as possible.

What materials are the regulating tamper made of?

Regulating tampers are often made of stainless steel for durability and longevity, or aluminium, which is lighter and easier to handle. For example, the manufacturer Espro offers stainless steel rammers, which are very popular due to their robustness and quality workmanship.

What are the main differences between the brands of tamper-controlled tampers?

Brands such as Clockwork Espresso and Espro focus on maximum precision in pressure regulation and ergonomics, while Barista Space offers sleek and stylish variants of adjustable pressure tampers. The choice depends on your personal preferences and espresso brewing needs.
