Calibrated tamper

Also known as calibrated tamper · spring tamper · tamper de resorte · dynamometric tamper

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from feel-only tamp. Doesn’t replace distribution.

What it’s for and how to use it: Distribute → press to click/stop → no bounce. Check diameter fit.

Cup impact or benefit: More household consistency; fewer uneven tamps.

Technical notes: Calibrated force won’t fix coarse grind or edge channels.

Common mistakes: Trusting only the click. Wrong basket diameter.
