We tested it ourselves: in a trial with 150 espressos at 10, 15, and 20 kilograms of tamping pressure, we found no statistically relevant difference in either flow time or TDS value.

What matters is that enough pressure is applied in the first place (we recommend at least 6 kilograms) and that it happens the same way every time. This is exactly where the KM pressure tamper helps: it takes the guesswork out, so no one at the machine suddenly starts pressing half-heartedly out of uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor experienced baristas with established technique, the benefit is small—they already tamp consistently. It's especially worthwhile for beginners and anyone who is unsure whether they are 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, you hit a stop. You don't have to guess or stare at a kitchen scale, one tamp is enough and you know it's seated. The lower part stays at 50.95 mm just under the standard 51mm basket diameter, so there is hardly any play between basket and tamper base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDoes the tamper fit my basket?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for 51mm baskets, such as the Delonghi Dedica EC685 and EC885.

For safety, measure the inner 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 the pressing itself. It doesn't compensate for unevenly distributed coffee or air pockets. So the coffee bed must be leveled first, easiest with a leveling tool like our \u003ca title=\"To Motta Leveler 51 mm\" href=\"\/en\/products\/motta-leveler-51mm\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotta Leveler 51mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
