The Coffee Tamper & Mat Kit is a combination of our two most popular espresso accessories, the Basic Barista Self Levelling Coffee Tamper and the Basic Barista Silicone Tamper Mat.

Why Use a Calibrated Coffee Tamper?

Calibrated and Self Levelling Coffee Tampers are the future of tamping coffee, they are set to give the same consistent pressure every time (completly removing a variable to consider when dialling in your coffee) and can be customised to tamp down to a predetermined height, perfect for using different coffees, doses or different sized coffee baskets.

As well as the built in spring these coffee tampers have a lip around the edge of the tamper that sit's flush on the portafilter ensuring that there is no uneven tamping at an angle. This combined wit the consistent tamping pressure gives you a much greater chance at avoiding channeling and making tasty espresso every time.

The tamper sits perfectly on the tamping mat and allows you to keep your tamper dry from any drips due to the raised impressions. This espresso accessory bundle is all you need to start making espresso.

ESPRESSO

Espresso is one of the most concentrated beverages that humans can't seem to get enough of. Making perfectly dialed in coffee can be challenging at times but is not impossible, especially with the right tools.

  • COFFEE TO WATER RATIO

    When brewing espresso you are constantly adjusting your variables to dial in your coffee. The coffee to water ratio is one of these variable.

    Generally an espresso has a 1:2 Ratio but this isn't always the case and sometimes the word 'espresso' acts more as an umbrella term for coffees that are outside of this ratio.
    A Lungo has a 1:3 ratio and a ristretto has a 1:1 ratio of coffee to water.

  • WATER TEMPERATURE

    Brewing espresso at different water temperatures will change how your coffee is extracted and the overall taste of your espresso.
    Using a hotter water temperature will increased the body and sweetness but will have a greater chance of astringency and bitterness, while cooler water temperature will reduce bitterness, body and sweetness and can resulting in a sour, brighter espresso.

    COFFEE MACHINES 
  • PRESSURE FOR ESPRESSO

    Pressure is a critical factor in brewing espresso, typically measured in bars. The most common pressure for extracting espresso is around 9 bars. Proper pressure ensures optimal extraction, balancing the flavours and aromas.

    Adjusting your pressure throughout the one extraction is known as pressure profiling and is an entire rabbit hole in itself.

  • FRESHLY GROUND VS PRE-GROUND

    Grinding your coffee right before you brew will drastically improve the taste of your coffee. The reason for this is that once you grind your coffee it has a much larger surface area and straight away starts to loose it's freshness.
