How the Bravo Tamper Works
The Bravo Tamper is far more than a simple tamper. It is a dynamometric tool that elevates your coffee compaction to new levels of precision and control. Thanks to its innovative dual-spring system, every extraction becomes a consistent and deliciously perfect experience.
The secret of the Bravo Tamper lies in its unique alignment base. From the first contact with the portafilter, it ensures 100% aligned movement, resulting in a uniformly leveled coffee bed. This alignment is critical for preventing channeling and ensuring even extraction across the entire puck.
When you begin tamping, the alignment base is gently pressed against the portafilter by the lower spring, guiding the tamper in a precise and aligned movement. This first phase ensures your puck is perfectly level before compaction begins.
When actual compaction begins, the upper spring engages, controlling the pressure on the coffee to ensure consistent extraction. The dual-spring mechanism works together to eliminate variations caused by manual tamping, delivering the same force shot after shot.
The result? Consistent puck preparation, reduced channeling, and the level of control required to achieve café-quality espresso at home or behind the bar.

FAQ - Bravo Tamper
How do I use the Bravo Tamper?
- Preparation: Place your desired amount of ground coffee in the portafilter and position the tamper over it.
- Initial Tamp: Begin tamping by slowly pressing the aluminum handle downward. Initially, only the first spring will be active, keeping the alignment base in place and ensuring your puck is level.
- Full Compaction: Continue tamping until you feel increased resistance. This indicates the second spring is engaged, providing firmer compaction. This is where the actual pressure is applied to the coffee.
- Completion: When you feel a slight "click" inside the tamper, it means compaction is complete. Stop applying pressure and slowly lift the aluminum handle back to its starting position.
- Optional Polish: To polish the puck surface, simply lower the aluminum handle again and gently rotate it to create a smooth, polished coffee bed.
What is the default tamping force?
The Bravo Tamper is set to a default tamping force of approximately 13kg (28.6 lbs) at the factory. This is the optimal starting point for most espresso applications. However, the force can be adjusted to suit your specific coffee, grind profile, and extraction style.
How do I adjust the tamping force?
Tamping force can be easily adjusted by turning the Allen screw located at the bottom of the threaded cap on the handle. Each millimeter of adjustment changes the applied force by approximately 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg).
To increase pressure: Turn the Allen screw clockwise (inward)
To decrease pressure: Turn the Allen screw counterclockwise (outward)
The adjustable range is 26–34 lbs (11.8–15.4 kg), allowing you to fine-tune the pressure to match different coffees and extraction styles. For detailed calibration instructions, consult the product manual.
