Cinoart PTB FI Automatic Coffee Tamper

If you are searching for an automatic coffee tamper that suits a busy café, a roastery or a training room, the Cinoart PTB FI Automatic Coffee Tamper offers a lot of control in a compact footprint.

Why Choose an Automatic Coffee Tamper?

Manual tamping depends on the person doing it. Pressure, angle and technique all vary from one shot to the next, and over a long shift that variation affects extraction. An automatic coffee tamper removes the guesswork. You set the pressure once, and the machine delivers it every time, regardless of dose volume or particle size.

It also reduces repetitive strain. Tamping hundreds of shots a day puts pressure on the wrist, elbow and shoulder, and automating the step takes that load off the barista.

Cinoart PTB FI Automatic Coffee Tamper: Guide Levelling System

The Cinoart PTB FI features the brand's patented Guide Levelling System (GLS). When the portafilter is placed in position, the system guides the handle to the correct angle, so the coffee bed is compressed flat. A level bed helps prevent channelling and supports an even extraction from the first shot to the last.

Adjustable Tamping Pressure from 2kg to 38kg

The pressure range is wide. You can set anywhere from 2kg up to 38kg, which gives roasters, trainers and baristas room to test how tamping pressure changes the taste in the cup. Three quick-select buttons (10kg, 20kg and 30kg) allow fast changes, and you can save your own custom pressures.

The PTB FI also offers segmented multi-tamping. Choose a single, double or triple tamp, and set a different pressure for each stage of the cycle. This gives you more ways to test and refine a recipe.

Built for Durability and Clean Operation

The Cinoart PTB FI has a cast alloy structure and has been fatigue tested to one million cycles without failure. The tamper head carries a non-stick nano coating that resists static and stops coffee fines and oils from building up, so the tamp stays clean. Tamp head sizes range from 53mm to 58.5mm, and the unit works with all commercial portafilter sizes and styles.

A sleep mode helps manage energy use, and a total tamp counter lets you track how many tamps the unit has completed.
