    A great espresso requires four correct inputs: Macinazione (grind), Miscela (blend), Macchina (machine), and Mano (hand of the barista). The goal is to extract water at the correct temperature and pressure through a fixed amount of coffee for a fixed amount of time. How you get there is largely a function of the four inputs. A coarser grind requires a firmer tamp but can still result in a great espresso. It's largely the preference of the barista.

  • @klarinetta I know some people say that. As I said, I m a firm follower to that method. Again, tamping is for when you DONT have the right tools to grind correctly. Offcourse I even it out but I would not call it tamping (@ sendschie).

  • Respond to this video... Sorry it was of course meant to be much finer grind as you will use finer grind no matter if you use a harder tamp.

  • @javafanskajagskriva Some say that you should use finer grind for a lever machine than for semi-automatic pump machines like you would maybe use setting 12 on Rocky for the Rancilio Silvia and only setting 8 or even finer for the La Pavoni and use a lighter base tamper and tamp very light and mainly just leveling and polish the puck.

  • @javafanskajagskriva tamping is for people who want an equal distribution of water throughout their shot. try not tamping with a bottomless filter and you'll see for yourself how uneven it is.

  • @kegdestroyer

    amen!

  • saw me in half? make me feel like an idiot? coming from someone who thinks tamping is counterproductive... well, lol

  • Right or not, give the guy the pleasure to enjoy his coffe and brag to his friends. God damn, who are you anyways and what gives you the right? Put a video up on your coffe skills and I will saw it in half and let's see how you feel you idiot!

  • that sounds like Bob Odenkirk
