We tested this ourselves: In an experiment with 150 espressos at 10, 15 and 20 kilograms of tamping pressure, we found no statistically relevant difference in either extraction time or TDS value. Read more in the article \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/kaffeewissen\/anpressdruck-tampen\"\u003eWhat influence does tamping pressure have on espresso?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo pressure alone isn't the lever. What matters is that enough pressure is applied at all (we recommend at least 6 kilograms) and that it happens the same way every time. That's exactly where the KM pressure tamper helps: it takes the guesswork out, so no one at the machine suddenly starts pressing halfheartedly out of uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor experienced baristas with practiced technique, the added benefit is small—they're already tamping consistently. It's especially worthwhile for beginners and anyone who's unsure whether they're pressing gently enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the pressure mechanism work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you press beyond the target range of 8 to 10 kilograms, the handle gives way noticeably. So you don't have to guess or stare at a kitchen scale—one tamp is enough and you know it's seated. The base stays at 50.95 mm, just under the standard 51mm basket diameter, so there's hardly any play between basket and tamper base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDoes the tamper fit my portafilter?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for 51mm portafilters, such as the Delonghi Dedica EC685 and EC885.

To be safe, measure the inside diameter of your basket before purchasing—51mm baskets are also found from other manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat should you prepare before tamping?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism only regulates pressure during pressing itself. It doesn't compensate for unevenly distributed coffee or air pockets. That's why the coffee bed must be leveled first, easiest with a leveling tool like our \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/motta-leveler-51mm\"\u003eMotta Leveler 51mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.
