MHW 3BOMBER Flash Tamper 2.0 - 53mm

By tamping, the coffee grounds in the filter are compacted to create a firm and even coffee puck with a smooth and level surface.
Proper tamping avoids channeling and achieves a uniform extraction of all the coffee grounds. This ensures that all the aromatic compounds from the coffee are extracted.

This is the second generation of the Flash Tamper from MHW 3Bomber.
The Flash Tamper 2.0 is a pressure-regulated tamper with a preset pressure of 13.6 kg. 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 a constant pressure of 13.6 kg, the extraction rate is nearly the same 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, while the spring pulls the base back up.

This tamper fits perfectly on 53 mm portafilters.
Through repeated testing, 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 tamper features an ergonomic handle and feels good in the hand. Additionally, the base is equipped with 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 is made of solid walnut wood, the middle part from an aluminum alloy, and the base and spring from stainless steel (SUS304). A replacement spring is included.
The entire tamper is disassemblable and can therefore be easily cleaned.

With this tamper, perfect coffee extraction can be achieved when used correctly.
