But why is that so important? A compressed puck creates resistance in your filter basket, which enables proper coffee extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you don’t press the puck with a tamper, water will follow the path of least resistance, creating small channels in the coffee. This leads to an unbalanced espresso with (usually) too many sour notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamping also creates distance between the puck and your machine’s brew group, which is necessary for the machine to build the correct pressure (between 9 and 11 bars).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003eWhen to use a flat or convex tamper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional barista tampers have a handle and a heavy metal base. They are designed to sit comfortably in your hand. The weight of the base helps ensure even, consistent tamping. Many have a rounded top, allowing you to comfortably rest your palm during tamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess well-known is the palm tamper. These have a flat top and often feature adjustable tamping depth. The advantage of a palm tamper is that you always tamp level because the edges rest on the rim of your \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/portafilters\"\u003eportafilter\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer not only traditional tampers but also \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tamper-distributor-combo\"\u003etamper-distributor combos\u003c\/a\u003e.
