We tested it ourselves: In a trial with 150 espressos at 10, 15, and 20 kilograms of tamping force, we found no statistically relevant difference in either flow time or TDS value. You can read about it in the article \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/kaffeewissen\/anpressdruck-tampen\" title=\"To blog article\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat influence does tamping pressure have on espresso?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo pressure alone is not the key factor. What matters is that enough force is applied in the first place (we recommend at least 6 kilograms) and that it happens the same way every time. That's exactly where the KM Pressure Tamper helps: It takes the guesswork out, so nobody at the machine suddenly starts pressing half-heartedly out of uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor experienced baristas with practiced technique, the gain is small—they're already tamping consistently. It's particularly worthwhile for beginners and anyone unsure whether they're pressing gently enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the pressing force mechanism work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you press beyond the target range of 8 to 10 kilograms, you hit a stop. So you don't have to guess or stare at a kitchen scale; one tamp is enough, and you know it's seated. The base stays at 50.95 mm, just under the standard 51mm basket diameter, so there's hardly any play between basket and tamper base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWill this tamper fit my portafilter?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for 51mm portafilters, such as the Delonghi Dedica EC685 and EC885.

As a precaution, measure the inner diameter of your basket before purchasing—51mm baskets are also found from other manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat should you prepare before tamping?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism only regulates pressure during pressing. It doesn't compensate for unevenly distributed coffee or air pockets. That's why the coffee bed must be leveled first, most easily with a leveling tool like our \u003ca title=\"To Motta Leveler 51 mm\" href=\"\/en\/products\/motta-leveler-51mm\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotta Leveler 51mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
