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 filter to achieve a firm and even coffee puck with a smooth and level surface.
Proper tamping avoids channeling and ensures an even extraction of all the coffee grounds. This allows all the aromatic compounds from the coffee to be released.
The Impact Tamper is a pressure-regulated tamper with a preset pressure. When the preset pressure is reached, a mechanical signal sounds as feedback, and the tamper releases the pressure. After several trials, MHW 3Bomber found that at the preset pressure, the extraction rate is nearly the same for different amounts of grounds and different extraction times. The outer ring, which sits 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 53 mm portafilters.
Through repeated tests, MHW 3Bomber determined that 53.35 mm is the perfect size for leveling tools and tampers. These fit precisely in 53 mm portafilters and reduce coffee ground waste.
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 of an aluminum alloy, while the base and spring are made of stainless steel (SUS304).
The entire tamper is disassemblable, making it easy to clean.
With this tamper, perfect coffee extraction can be achieved with proper use.
