Re: grinder problem: beans blocking? (Rancilio Roc
Mick,
The Espro tampers will get the pressure correct for you but arent a good fit in most baskets (you need a tamp right up to the edge of the basket to get a good seal) and although say a 58 mm tamper is exactly 58 mm the baskets are always larger ..... and that can cause problems....
A Greg Pullman tamper (around $80 delivered) will fit perfectly - but wont get the pressure right for you - thats where the bathroom scales come in.... and after a while you will be able to get the correct tamp every time!
