I was tamping much harder before I got this tamper. It has been a really useful little tool, and has helped prevent spritzing when using the bottomless portafilter.
I use this blog to capture my thoughts and assist me in the learning process. Often I record observations, findings and ideas that I subsequently learn are incorrect (all part of the learning process). Whilst I am happy to share such thoughts with anyone reading, I also advise caution in using them as any form of tutorial.

I thought I'd throw together a short video to show what 30lb of tamping force looks like. The Espro tamper has an inbuilt mechanism that is calibrated to 30lb so you know when to stop pressing down.
