4. Operating Instructions
- Prepare your Portafilter: Ensure your 53/54mm portafilter is filled with freshly ground espresso.
- Position the Tamper: Place the tamper squarely on top of the coffee grounds in the portafilter. The self-leveling design will ensure an even surface.
- Apply Pressure: Gently press down on the tamper. You will feel the internal springs engage. Continue pressing until you hear a distinct "click" sound. This indicates that the optimal tamping pressure has been reached.
- Release: Once the "click" is heard, release the pressure. The tamper will automatically return to its original position.
- Inspect the Puck: A perfectly tamped puck will be firm, level, and smooth, ready for consistent espresso extraction.
