Krome Flat Palm Tamper 58mm - C2290

Palm or "Puck" tampers are a new type of tamper designed to meet the needs of a busy bar and the exacting standards of the artisan barista. Palm tampers are engineered for precision, allowing you to adjust the depth of your tamp for your dose and grind setting, and achieve perfect results every time. The drive for precision is equally matched by a drive to achieve a craftsman aesthetic.

Espresso Tamping is an art that is often neglected in espresso preparation. The goal is to create a pellet of coffee through which the hot water from the espresso machine will penetrate evenly. Since the water from the espresso machine is under pressure, the espresso pellet must be hard and evenly tamped. 

The water only knows how to go from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. Therefore it is important to prevent paths of least resistance in the coffee pellet and force the water to evenly permeate and extract the coffee. 

Like other puck tampers, the Krome Palm Tamper utilizes the basket rim itself as a leveling mechanism, so you can be sure that every time you tamp, you'll be tamping level and parallel to the basket rim.
