This kind of content is what keeps me coming back. Straightforward. Beautiful. Obvious invested time in the craft and yet complete lack of any pretentiousness

[@HelderBarreto]

I have a Bravo tamper. It is AMAZING. I can change the tamping force only by turning a small piece which makes the spring change from 8 up to 15kg (of tamping force). When I changed my Breville to a Flair 58, I was able to keep the tamper. All I had to change was the stainless steel bottom piece (it unscrews easily). The breville is 53mm and the Flair 58mm. To me, it's a stunning piece of handcraft.

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, the Bravo doesn't allow you to adjust the tamping pressure, you can confirm that with instagram.com/gilberto939?igshid=MjEwN2IyYWYwYw== Nonetheless, we totally get why you love it 🤍💯 Hope you keep enjoying using it ☕️😊

[@victorbarroscoch]

​@@ourcoffeeshelter It does! But not that much. You can calibrate the pressure, plus or minus a few Kg, by turning the allen screw under the top cap. To have a bigger difference, the spring needs to be changed for a lighter one.

[@HelderBarreto]

@@ourcoffeeshelter you are mistaken. It DOES allow. I've done it and I could adjust the pressure from 8kg up to 15kg. Once you choose a tamping force it will keep it.

[@LLF1234]

THIS! Bravo is an EXCELENT tamper. And yes, you can calibrate the pressure on the Bravo tamper.

Thank you so much for your kind words, means so much to us! Hopefully 2024 will be filled with hard work from our side ☕️🤍😊👏

[@NoZenith]

Thank you very much for this content. It's all the basic information in one place for me. I already knew most of this stuff at this point but understanding start directions to go is where I'm getting stumped. I would have really been excited to have found this video a couple weeks when i started this research haha. Keep up the good work. On a more specific note, I have the 54 mm version of that stock Breville tamper and even in the stock basket that doesn't have perfectly straight sides. I struggle to get a full tamp without a bunch of coffee around the edges. Otherwise I have no complaint with that tamper other than the edges are a bit short since I use my fingertips on the edge of the basket anyway as a levelness guide... wish the base was a little thicker. This is why I want to upgrade anyway because it's kind of hard to tell if you're perfectly level unless you spin it to polish the puck at least halfway around, for me at least.

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Thank you! We are very pleased to hear your positive feedback. Definitely keeping it up, and the best is yet to come 🤍☕️😊

Nice roundup of well-known tampers. I noticed that the both the leveling plate and the tamping plate on the Force Tamper were tilted at 13:31.

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, yes, we would strongly recommend having two fingers on the sides of the leveling collar as it will occasionally tilt if you hand is pressing with a sligh angle 🤍☕️👌

[@GurgenPB2]

Understood… yes it does, so does the bravo that I have,,, the spring that levels the outer larger diameter plate needs to be stiffer…. The decent tamper which you didn’t review has this feature, and gives more perpendicular tamps

[@drsteee]

Where would you place the decent tamper in this comparison? They did a cooperation with Wiedemann and now they offer olive handle, they look amazing 😊

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Probably along Normcore, but the Leveling collar looks even straighter and better 🤍☕️

[@conoryoutubing]

Great content as always mate! How are you enjoying the custom happy tamper base at 58.6mm x 10mm? Does it work well with a Weber Unibasket? ex: no vacuum generated, clean edges? Considering a custom order for that or whether the big foot at 58.55 x 8mm would suffice. Wouldn't happen to have a discount code for them like some of the other manufactures listed above, would ya? :)

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, thank you for the kind words, it means a lot. Haven't tested it with Weber Basket, you could check with HappyTamper on this, but we would say go for it 👌 Unfortunately we don't have a discount code with them. You could tell them that you are our friend and was wondering if they could give a friendly discount (or extra base for free) ☕️🤍

[@conoryoutubing]

@@ourcoffeeshelter thanks for replying! Yes, I contacted them and they stated the "Big Foot" base (58.55 x 8) was designed for the unibasket. Ended up customizing that to be a 10mm thickness per your specs but left width at 58.55. Also got a WDT tool from them that they offered to install a magnet to enable attaching to side of machine. Super easy to communicate with and very helpful. Thanks for the nudge in that direction.

Does the normcore coating come off with use?

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

So far it did not 🤍☕️

[@jaehocho9718]

I have pullman 876 baskets and I'm looking at the Happy tamper. should I just go with the 58.55mm big foot version or custom it to 58.58mm to match the Pullman Big step?

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, definitely custom it to 58.58mm as it will work with either Pullman or the VST 18g Ridgless which we usually prefer. An alternative option is to consider the new Pulm Tamper by Normcore, we are extremely happy with it and with the way you are able to adjust tamping pressure, less than 2 seconds to do so. You can check it here: www.normcorewares.com/products/normcore-palm-tamper-adjustable-pressure?_pos=13&_sid=cc4a01333&_ss=r Go with the flat base and feel free to benefit from our Discount Code too.

[@jaehocho9718]

what's the actual measured diameter of the Normcore?

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

@@jaehocho9718 It will be 58.50, for that extra accuracy you will need to go with the HappyTamper.

thanks for the reply. trying to decide between the Happy Tamper or the Pullman Bug Step.

[@andrewr3403]

Awesome video! What portafilter and basket do you recommend for Pullman?

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, the VST 18g ridgless basket is wonderful for that 👌🤍☕️ You can also consider Pullman's basket, but the VST is what we prefer 🤍☕️😊

[@jaehocho9718]

do you know if a 58.6mm tamper will work with Pullman brand baskets?

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, it will work as Pullman baskets are made for their tamper, which is 58.58mm 👌☕️🤍

[@jaehocho9718]

@@ourcoffeeshelter thank you! most likely going to order a Bravo tamper in 58.6mm then.

[@apurbabanik1993]

I am in doubt please help, I use a decent espresso v4 tamper which helped me with the leveling issue and I honestly love it but every time it leaves a untamped ring in the basket, how does this effect my coffee. please help

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, it is not a huge deal, but that is why we personally prefer relatively wide tampers. Try using dosing funnel + WDT, they after removing the dosing funnel, hit the portafitler on the table slightly to ensure the ground coffee bed lower abit, then tamp. It is better than tamping the ground coffee while it is at the top level of the basket. 🤍☕️

[@zakooshi]

That really cool

[@therevanchist2869]

I'm amazed at your gear bro ❤☕

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

[@softbeak8333]

is it just me or is the Force tamper plate too thin to be even? 12:36 and 13:26 it looks very uneven, and both bottom and top plate seem to contribute a bit. 13:33 you can see it in the surface of the bed after the plate rises too.

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, yes you are correct. It is advisable to place two finger on each side to prevent any movement during the impact. Like this ✌️

[@johnl1351]

Thank you I use a pesado double spout. Can you recommend a holder for tamping?

@@ourcoffeeshelter i am using the 58mm imf basket. Its an 18 gram basket. I am commonly using 18 grams as well. Its the newer gen normcore v4 stating 58.5mm

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

@@kennethguerrero6802 That is strange. I would recommend those tips: -Make sure your tamper is clean and dry from the bottom as a minute mist of water is enough to stick the coffee to it. -Give the tamper a slight twist after you tamp like we did with the Bravo at 11:36 .

Why do people still use normal tamps like a Pullman when there’s self leveling and pressure controlled tampers out there. I’d assume everyone wants to control variables by having a repeatable controlled tamp.

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

We personally love calibrated tampers, but we understand why some people prefer manual ones. The Pullman is super easy to get a flat tamped surface with it and it is very precise, so we can understand why some still prefer it ☕️🤍

[@conoryoutubing]

Can think of two points: 1. Low/No maintenance. Zero springs or integral parts that can break/wear down over time. Assuming you're not throwing it around = will be an heirloom piece. 2. Unlimited depth adjustment for under dosing baskets. Perhaps if you just wanted one basket to rule them all, you'd get a large basket and under dose to your needs at the time. Some self level tampers can only go down so far. With the manual you can go to the very bottom. Doubt I would do this but... it is a notch for the manual tamper.

[@cliffcox7643]

If it works, don't TAMPER with it.
