What matters is that enough pressure is applied at all (we recommend at least 6 kilograms) and that it happens the same way every time. That's exactly where the KM pressure tamper helps: it takes the guesswork out, so no one at the machine suddenly starts pressing halfheartedly out of uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor experienced baristas with practiced technique, the added benefit is small—they're already tamping consistently.

So you don't have to guess or stare at a kitchen scale—one tamp is enough and you know it's seated.
