    Re: Spring Loaded Tampers

    Nope....

    When forces are in balance.... and the object is stationary... they are equal and opposite.....

    So tamper applies 13Kg force downward..... and the scales will provide 13Kg upward......

    (No.... the puck isnt getting 26Kg..... it is being compressed by 13KG....)

    Doesnt matter if it is scales, the benchtop or whatever..... they will all provide an equal and opposite force..... but if they are scales (bathroom or Mals idea variety) you can read the force being applied accurately.

      Dave Makin used it to win the Australian Barista Championships, and won by a whopping 100 point margin. It cant be all that bad right?

      The Espro is a serious tamper for serious baristas. It does take that one variable out if you can tamp straight....and its hard...believe me. Ive been training for the last 6 months so that I maximised all the points on tamping for barista competitions.

      The pressure that is applied is not as important as tamping straight. Angled tamps have weak regions in which the pressurised water can pass through a lot easier. Im sure you guys all know this theoretical stuff.

        ahh....

        Ive used an espro before and it feels a little odd.

        Probably will take awhile to get used to the "click"

        the convex is a little bit more compared to the coffeelabs...
