What is the difference between an automatic coffee tamper and a regular tamper?
Beyond consistency, automatic tampers alleviate the physical strain associated with manual tamping. Over time, repetitive manual tamping can lead to wrist and hand fatigue, or even injuries. Automatic tampers take this pressure off, allowing baristas to focus on other aspects of coffee preparation. Straight to the point our favorite spring-loaded espresso tamper is the extremely consistent and sturdy normcore v4 coffee tamper. We liked the crema coffee products distributor/leveler & hand tamper as a palm version; it has a built-in leveler and tamps pucks consistently.
