The Yu series aims to convey the concept of 'Guided by heart'. It combines traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. The design of the series impresses with simplicity and elegance, creating a unique espresso aesthetic.
When tamping, the coffee grounds are compacted in the portafilter to achieve a firm and even coffee puck with a smooth and level surface.
Proper tamping avoids channeling and ensures an even extraction of the entire coffee grounds, thereby extracting all the aromatic compounds from the coffee.
The Impact Tamper is a pressure-regulated tamper with a preset pressure. Once the preset pressure is reached, a mechanical signal sounds as feedback, and the tamper releases the pressure. After several attempts, MHW 3Bomber found that at the preset pressure, the extraction rate is nearly consistent across different amounts of coffee grounds and varying extraction times. The outer ring, which rests flat on the portafilter, ensures that the tamper is always pressed straight down. The tamper is simply placed on top and pressed down, with the spring pulling the base back up.
This tamper fits perfectly on 51 mm portafilters.
The handle is coated with silicone to ensure a perfect grip. Additionally, the base features concentric grooves, allowing more coffee grounds to come into contact with the water, leading to better extraction.
The entire tamper is made from high-quality materials. The handle and middle part are made from an aluminum alloy, while the base and spring are made from stainless steel (SUS304).
The entire tamper is disassemblable and can therefore be easily cleaned.
With this tamper, perfect coffee extraction can be achieved with proper use.
