PuqPress - A Valuable Tamping Tool For Baristas

Tamping is an essential step while dialling in your espresso. Tamping can affect not only espresso extraction but also workflow and barista health.

Tamping and Consistency

You want to be able to control espresso flow by adjusting grind size, not tamping pressure. Therefore, achieving consistency in every tamp is key for a professional barista.

But, how hard should you tamp?

What is the ideal pressure to tamp?

This can be particularly challenging in cafés where there are multiple baristas. Different tamping methods can create different results leading to inconsistent coffee for the customer.
