HEADROOM

COFFEE

BREWHEAD

The Tamper is spring-loaded to

prevent over tamping and ensure

that the thickness of the coffee is

consistent and the surface level.

This is essential to prevent the

water nding the easiest path

through the thin area of the coffee

cake, resulting in weak, avourless

espresso.

PORTAFILTER

• A coffee Tamper is used to ensure that the coffee grounds in the basket are evenly

distributed and compacted in a compressed cake.

• Along with grind size and weight of coffee, tamping is used to control the extraction time.

The tighter you compact the coffee cake, the longer the extraction.

• The compressed cake forces the water to ow evenly through it, slow enough to pick up all

the avours needed for a perfect espresso.

• If the cake is not compressed, water will ow through the less dense areas or gaps in the

grinds, resulting in a weak, avourless expresso.

WHAT IS A COFFEE TAMPER AND WHY IS

TAMPING IMPORTANT?

KNOWING YOUR

DUALIT TAMPER

HANDLE

LEVELLING GUIDE

HEADROOM

TAMPING PLATE

Your Dualit Tamper has an

adjustable tamp pressure that helps

change the amount of compaction

of the coffee cake. This can be

used to ne tune your extraction

time.

The headroom of your coffee is the distance between the

tamped coffee and the brewhead of your coffee machine. If it

is too low the water will sit on the coffee surface, creating a

wet puck (hard to clean!) and poor extraction. If the headroom

is too small, the water will not properly penetrate the coffee.

Please note: if you are using a double walled lter cup

then you will always get a wet puck after extraction. Your tamper’s guide ensures it will

always tamp the coffee to the correct

headroom. However, this will not work

if you are using too much or too little

coffee in your basket.

The business end of the tamper,

the part that comes into contact

with the coffee cake and creates a

smooth at surface.

Put the required amount of

coffee into your Portalter

Basket. We recommend

6-9 grams for a Single Shot

Basket and if your machine

has one, 12-18 grams for a

Double Shot Basket. Level

the coffee grounds in the

Basket by gentle tapping on

work surface.

We recommend setting the

Tamper to the mid-point to

start with. Hold the Levelling

Guide with one hand and

turn the handle clockwise

until it stops.

Turn the handle anti-

clockwise for one full turn,

then a half turn. This will

give 13kg of tamping force.

Place the portalter so that

the basket is level. Tip: rest

the portalter on tamping

mat or tea towel on a work

surface.

Place the tamper into the

Basket, gently pressing

downwards. Stop when the

Tamping Guide reaches the

rim of the basket. Release

the push force and before

removing the tamp from

the basket, give the handle

a twist whilst keeping the

tamp level. This prevents

coffee sticking to the tamper

and polishes the surface of

the coffee.

Note: Do not twist the guide more than 3 full turns from the handle, as you risk

completely unscrewing the guide. If you do accidentally unscrew the guide, make

sure to place the spring back inside the handle before reassembly.

FIRST USE

YOUR TAMPER HAS ADJUSTABLE TAMP PRESSURE.

THIS ALLOWS FINE TUNING OF THE COFFEE FLOW RATE IF REQUIRED.

USING YOUR TAMPER

Several factors go into creating the perfect cup of espresso. Consult your machines instruction

book for details on how to ensure you create a perfect coffee. An ideal espresso extraction

should be:

• Between 20-30 seconds for a single shot

• 10-15 bar of pressure

• A constant ow from the portalter

• Produce a 35ml drink (70ml for a double shot)

Use only coffee that has been ground for espresso machines. If grinding your own, consult the

instruction book for what grind setting this should be. As a rough guide the coffee should have

the texture of our. This will be setting 3-5 on the Dualit Burr Coffee Grinder (CCG1).

CLEANING YOUR TAMPER

• To clean your Tamper, wipe with a damp cloth using mild detergent.

• Do not fully submerge the Tamper.

• Do not place the tamper in a dishwasher.

• Allow Tamper to dry fully before storing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION(S)

COFFEE FLOW IS SLOW (OVER EXTRACTED)

Tamping pressure is too high. Reduce Tamping pressure.

Level of tamped coffee is too high. Make sure you push down fully so that the

guide touches the portalter.

Use less coffee.

Coffee grind is too ne. Use a coarser grind.

COFFEE FLOW IS TOO FAST

Tamping pressure is too low. Increase tamping pressure.

Tamping is not level. Make sure you push down fully so that the

Levelling Guide touches the portalter.

Coffee grind is too coarse. Use a ner grind.

COFFEE GROUNDS STICK TO THE TAMPER

Tamper is damp. Dry the Tamper before use.

You are not twisting the Tamper as you

remove it from the basket.

Twist the Tamper as you remove it from the

basket.

WATER IS LEAKING AROUND THE PORTAFILTER DURING EXTRACTION

Coffee grounds on the Portalter rim are

stopping a seal forming.

Wipe the rim of the Portalter clean before

inserting into machine.

Make sure the brewhead on your coffee

machine is clean.

NO COFFEE IS FLOWING/MY MACHINE ISN’T WORKING

Make sure you understand how to operate

your machine.

Refer to your machine’s instruction book.

Most manufacturers provide their instruction

books online.

I’M RECEIVING INCONSISTENT COFFEE AND MY PUCK IS WET

Not enough coffee in the Basket. This allows

water to remain on top of the coffee grinds

after extraction.

As a guide, after tamping the top surface

of the Tamping Plate should align with the

Rim of the Basket. Add more coffee to the

basket, or use a coarser grind size. Please

note: if you are using a double walled

lter cup then you will always get a

wet puck after extraction.

MY PORTAFILTER WILL NOT LOCK ONTO MY MACHINE (GROUPHEAD)

Too much coffee in the Basket. As a guide, after tamping the top surface of

the Tamping Plate should align with the Rim

of the Basket.

Add less coffee to the basket or use a ner

grind size.

Remove the Tamper and

clean any excess coffee

grounds from the rim of the

Basket. You are ready to

put the portalter into your

machine and make great

coffee.
