This supports the grip of the non-slip mat and eliminates a typical problem area, the front of the table or worktop. With classic tamping mats, the table is only protected from above. However, tamping often takes place at the edge. This quickly leads to many nicks on the work surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes good tamping?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Tamping\" refers to the pressing of the coffee grounds in the portafilter. The coffee grounds are compacted in the portafilter by a pressure of approx. 8 - 15 kg.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor good tamping, the preparation of the grounds in the sieve is crucial. If air bubbles are trapped or if more coffee grounds are compressed in some places, the resistance of the coffee puck to the water changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood espresso extraction is made possible by uniform resistance. Lower resistance leads to faster water flow and a correspondingly uneven extraction. In the worst case, channeling occurs. In this channel formation, the brewing water flows much faster in some places and over-extraction occurs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can find more on the topic of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kaffeemachers.shop\/blogs\/kaffeewissen\/espresso-zubereiten\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Espresso Preparation\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #90a900;\"\u003eEspresso Preparation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iFulYPweyLo\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PNT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50675323306248,"sku":"SCHMAL","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/3343\/4269\/files\/tamping_matte_-_schmal.1.webp?v=1753949707","url":"https:\/\/kaffeemachers.shop\/en\/products\/tamping-matte-schmal","provider":"kaffeemachers.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
