Place the portaﬁlter on a ﬁrm surface that is protected from the metal tips of the spout and press downward with

about thirty pounds of force. For your ﬁrst few attempts it is advised to use a scale to measure the amount of force

it takes to accomplish that. If you are new to this process, the amount of force needed is probably a lot less than

you might think!

A more advanced tamping technique would be as follows: Start by tamping with about 20 pounds of force.

Remove the tamper and CAREFULLY and GENTLY, tap the top of the tamper handle against the outside of the

portaﬁlter body. The goal is to knock off any loose coffee trapped around the sides inside of the basket. Finally,

tamp straight down once again with about 25-35 pounds of force. Giving a twist to the handle to “polish” off the

coffee can help create a consistent surface to the coffee.

Whichever tamping method you used, the next step is to place the tamper off to the side and use your hand

to wipe off the loose coffee from the edge of the basket where it will seat up against the grouphead gasket. Many

baristas will invert the portaﬁlter over the grinder’s doser to clear it of loose coffee (if you have a doserless model,

do this over a small bowl). This is also a good test to assure that you have properly tamped the coffee. Do this

carefully because every once in a while all the coffee will fall out of the basket!

Another variable not yet mentioned is the dose- that is, just how much coffee is the right amount? One

method is to weigh the coffee. Record the weight of the complete portaﬁlter before adding the coffee, and then

weight it again after you ﬁnish the tamping. You will need an accurate gram scale with a resolution of one gram

(or less) to do this accurately. Figure about 16 or 17 grams of coffee for a double and about nine grams for a single

as a good starting point.

If you do not have a gram scale handy, another method is to ﬁnish tamping the coffee as before and then

lock the portaﬁlter into the grouphead, then remove it before pulling the shot. The coffee should not have been

disturbed or marked by the shower screen. If it was marked or disturbed then you need to dose a bit less coffee

into the basket next time.

Move the portaﬁlter over to the grouphead and carefully lock it into place. Use caution so as not to bump the

portaﬁlter which can dislodge the coffee in the portaﬁlter and cause a poor shot.

We are ready to make espresso!
