Why Tamping Matters
Uneven or inconsistent tamping is one of the most common causes of channelling, where water finds an easy path through the coffee and extracts it unevenly. An automatic tamper applies the same pressure perfectly level every time, so one less variable stands between you and a great shot.
Better for Baristas
In busy cafes, baristas can tamp hundreds of shots a day. Automatic tampers reduce strain on wrists and shoulders, and they help every barista on the team produce the same result.
Find the Right Fit
Automatic tampers are matched to your portafilter size and setup. Browse our PuqPress range, or see our manual coffee tampers and VST precision baskets to complete your workflow.
Choosing the Right Size
An automatic tamper must match the size of your portafilter basket. Most commercial and prosumer machines use 58mm baskets, while many home machines use smaller 53mm or 54mm baskets. Check your basket size, or ask our team, before you order. Tamping is only one step, so for the best shots pair your tamper with a distribution tool from our dosing and distribution range.
