Even though my distribution was pretty consistent, this thing makes setting up a nice level puck for a final gentle tamp a zero effort task.
Using this tool, you’ll tamp your coffee better, prevent ground particles from sticking to the tamper, avoid the common issue of channeling (which occurs when ground coffee is distributed unevenly and results in water only passing through parts of the coffee puck) and create the basis for the optimal flavour extraction.The depth of the coffee distributor is easy to adjust and only a few quick turns of the portafilter are needed to distribute your coffee perfectly.
A distributor will only groom the top part of the coffee, you can use then and no tamp, but they are not magic bullet. These would help you tweak your technique and improve consistency in multiple areas rather than spending the same money on a tamper that (arguably) affects one. The handle is designed to ensure a comfortable grip for the barista or home brewer during the distribution process.The multiple contact points improve the distribution process, especially for fine and freshly ground coffee, which is more prone to clumping.
The distribution of the ground coffee in the filter before the pressing is one of the most important stages in the preparation of an espresso. The choice of an espresso distributor will vary for every individual based on the precision and consistency needed.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).

Since this coffee ground distributor is made up of premium stainless steel, it is more durable and able to handle rough usage than the other distributors. Calibrated tampers do that for you, but a bit of muscle memory is just as good once you get a set technique. Tamping creates a uniform coffee bed and ensures consistent water flow through coffee grounds at the right rate and pressure, resulting in a delectable espresso shot. Pressing the coffee into the filter requires the right gesture to ensure that the coffee cake is straight and the right pressure.
The Twister, thanks to the helical shape of its base, simultaneously operates with a rotary movement of equal pressure to redistribute the coffee inside the filter holder, leaving still enough movement of compression when tamping. My plan is to get a tamper, then some more accurate scales, all the while trying to find the character of the machine so I know when is best to turn on, purge, put the portafilter in, start the flow of water, stop the flow, turn the steam on etc etc. I know my tamping is well below what is required and as such, changing the grind too much at this point on the basis of a couple of poorly measured grams seems crazy.
Great Deal
