Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Allows the barista to generate the exact same amount of tamping pressure every time IF they stop increasing downward force as soon as the spring starts to give way. If you let the handle get all the way to the bottom of it's travel, then all bets are off and this does the same thing any tamper does. Consistent tamping is critical when dialing in your grind. If your tamping pressure changes even a little, it will have significant impact on the pull and will become an unpredictable variable when you are trying to get the grind setting just right. This tamper will take that variable out of your equation, allowing you to focus solely on either dose or grind until you get things perfect. Then it will keep that tamping pressure the same so you don't lose that perfect shot you worked so hard to get. It's solidly made, polishes the puck well with a smooth flat bottom. The handle is reasonably ergonomic and feels good.
