JoeFrex Espresso Tamper
Best convex tamper base for baristas seeking more consistent espresso extraction.
The convex base is a subtle upgrade that forces water toward the edges of the puck, helping to mitigate channeling and uneven extraction. It requires a more deliberate tamping technique than a flat base, but the reward is a noticeably more balanced and nuanced espresso shot.
