Fino Kitchen Espresso Tamper

Fino's Dual-Sided Espresso Tamper compresses ground espresso coffee into a puck that's level and dense for a richer, more flavorful espresso brew. Grounds that are too loosely packed allow water to pass through too quickly without extracting any flavor from the coffee. The Dual-Sided Tamper compresses ground espresso into a densely compacted, evenly dispersed puck. The pressurized water then flows more slowly for the richest, most robust extraction possible. It also creates a necessary gap between the top of the grounds and the water disbursement screen so the dampened grounds don't swell to clog the water flow for a silty mess.  Fino's Dual-Sided Espresso Tamper compresses ground espresso coffee into a puck that's level and dense for a richer, more flavorful espresso brew Made from heavyweight aluminum; strong and durable; endures the naturally occurring acids found in coffee that can cause damage Compress ground espresso into a dense, evenly dispersed puck through which pressurized water flows more slowly for a richer, flavorful extraction Creates a necessary gap between the top of the grounds and the machine so the dampened grounds don't swell and clog the water disbursement screen Dual ends (48-millimeters and 53-millimeters) fit most portafilter baskets; 4-ounce weight for effortless tamping; hand wash in warm, soapy water Dimensions: 2.25" L x 2.25" W x 2.75" H
