Are you wondering how to set the proper tamping depth for you new espresso tamper? This palm tamper for the Breville Barista Express is a great way to improve consistency. Tamping depth is a very important factor in consistent espresso extraction. In order to set this depth properly, use this simple exercise to ensure that you are tamping to a level that will not cause the espresso puck to come in contact with the shower screen. Proper spacing between the puck and shower screen is very important for both the cleanliness and performance of your espresso machine.

The Sage machines use a 54mm Portafilter. This tamper is 53mm. Surely this will leave a 0.5mm non-tamped zone around the edge?

@LifestyleLab_ Жыл бұрын

They are designed specifically for Breville baskets, this isn’t a worry. Just like how 58mm tampers are actually 58.4mm

Very well done! This is the only way to set a distribution tool to the minimum depth. Should you trust the dime rule for clearance, simply put a dime over the ground bed, lock in the portafilter, then set the distribution tool to dime imprint level. Bang, it’s done. Lastly, adjust the dose weight to reach this level. When done, adjust grind size for perfect extraction. Compensate weight of the dose by the roast level. Increase dose with light roast, decrease with dark roast. Success guaranteed! I have never change the depth of tool fore the last 3 years and probably never forever. No matter the brand of your machine, size of basket, batch of beans, follow this procedure and you will be in business.

I put the top of the razor on the top of the puck and adjusted until the razor edge came against the base of the puck. The depth came out to ~.75mm as well. I like your approach better, but had to share a use for that razor...

Great video on things I do use. I have the same tamper and love it but always wondered how to get it right. Kinda eyeballing it to the built in tamper and dosing tool that comes with the unit, but find it inconsistent. So how much coffee are you using and what is your grind setting? Also, i see you dose first, then tamp. I have seen others do the opposite and was always confused :-)

@beer_goggler 4 жыл бұрын

Hi. Interesting video. I have a couple of issues here. First is the tamping weight and distance is directly related to the dose of coffee you use. Eg 16g v 18g will result in different tamped levels in the basket unrelated to shower screen. Second is that even different brands of coffee at a similar dose and grind tend to have a marginal difference so you’d need to recalibrate every new coffee. I just use distributer and adjust to gut feel and also to vary tamp amount to get longer shorter shot when the ideal grind setting is between settings.

@LifestyleLab_ 4 жыл бұрын

I dial in MANY different coffees every month. As long as you are using a dose that is not too low (causing the tamper to not make contact), you will be able to dial in using grind size. A standard "ideal tamping pressure" of 25lbs or whatever it was has long been debunked as a myth. CONSISTENCY is what's important. But you are absolutely right, if your grinder is stepped and you can not precisely dial in using grind alone, slightly adjusting tamping pressure can help you dial in between grind settings. The same thing could also be done by varying dose while keeping tamping depth the same.

@chomp54321 3 жыл бұрын

Excellent! This is exactly what I need. One question though: what is the dosage that you used? It appears that you have premeasured the beans. I have found the Barista Express is not very consistent with its dosage, varying up to more than half a gram. For adjusting the depth of the tamper side, I think the quicker way is to use the "Razor" tool that comes with the machine. It is set to the proper depth. Thanks for the video.

@LifestyleLab_ 3 жыл бұрын

I'm using 17.5gr dosed directly into an empty hopper, then I grund until empty. That is the most accurate method I have found on this machine. The razor tool is useful, but measures a specific volume, not a specific weight, which leads to problems in determining brew ratio

If the grind size steps are too big which is usually the case on a BBE you can make tiny adjustments so it tamps harder/softer or you can up/lower the dose of beans. It's all depends on what you're looking for and what tastes good to you and others

I've experienced different variantions of dosing when it comes to the density of the coffee been. Sometimes its messes up the depth when you are used to a high dense bean then decided to switch to a low dense bean, which in turn takes up more volume, so I have to lower my dosing for lower dense beans. So looking for advice on this.

@LifestyleLab_ 4 жыл бұрын

You can change your dose slightly like you're doing to adjust for these variations, but the main variable for dialing in should be grind size. If you are having trouble fitting 18gr in the basket, grind finer. If that results in too slow, or no flow, then reduce the dose.

Great content! This method works great for me. However, I have run into a new issue that I’m hoping you can help me understand. I bought super freshly roasted beans from a different local roaster. And all of a sudden 18 g of ground coffee does not fill up the Porta filter as much as the beans I have used in the past. Does it make sense that with some coffee you may have to readjust the depth of the tamper? Or pre-weigh say 20 g instead of 18g?

@LifestyleLab_ 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! Some coffees will grind very differently from others depending on a variety of factors. It's good to note that the coarser you grind, the more space 18gr will take up. Meaning that if your portafilter seems underfilled with 18gr, you can grind coarser to get adequate tamping pressure. If you do this and the flow is now too fast, you can also return to the old grind setting and increase the dose as you suggested

That is way too fast of an extraction. Try: 1. Increase to 19g of coffee 2. Tamper harder 3. Check your grinder for defects - spread the ground coffee on a paper towel and check the consistency of the grind. If there are to many coarse bits your grinder may need servicing. Or buy a better grinder. 4. Try a different roast. Darker roasts should grind finer.
