This supports the grip of the non-slip mat and addresses a typical problem area: the front of the table or countertop. With classic tamping mats, the table is only protected from above. However, tamping often takes place at the edge. This leads very quickly to many nicks and marks on the work surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat defines good tamping?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Tamping\" refers to compressing the coffee grounds in the portafilter. By applying pressure of approx. 8 - 15 kg, the coffee grounds are compacted in the portafilter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo ensure good tamping is even possible, the preparation of the grounds in the sieve is crucial. If air bubbles are trapped or the coffee powder is compressed more in some areas than others, the resistance of the coffee puck to the water changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA good espresso extraction is achieved through even resistance. Lower resistance leads to the water flowing through faster and, consequently, to uneven extraction. In the worst case, channeling occurs. With this canal formation, the brewing water flows through some areas significantly faster, resulting in over-extraction. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe have provided more information on the topic of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kiffeemacher.com\/blogs\/kaffeewissen\/espresso-zubereiten\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Espresso Preparation\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #90a900;\"\u003eespresso preparation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iFulYPweyLo\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PNT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50675323306248,"sku":"SCHMAL","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/3343\/4269\/files\/tamping_matte_-_schmal.1.webp?v=1753949707","url":"https:\/\/kiffeemacher.com\/en\/products\/tamping-matte-schmal","provider":"kiffeemacher.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
