Tamping compacts the coffee powder in the sieve to obtain a firm and uniform coffee cake with a smooth and even surface. Correct tamping avoids the channelling effect and ensures that all the coffee powder is extracted evenly. This releases all the flavourings from the coffee.

This is the second generation of the Flash tamper from MHW 3Bomber, and the base is also coated with black titanium.

The Flash Tamper 2.0 is a pressure-controlled 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 again. After several tests, MHW 3Bomber has established that at a constant pressure of 13.6 kg, the extraction rate is almost the same for different quantities of powder and different extraction times. The outer ring, which lies flat on the portafilter, ensures that the tamper is always pressed vertically downwards. The tamper is simply placed on top and pressed downwards, the spring pulls the base back up again.

This tamper fits perfectly on 58 mm portafilters. Through repeated testing, MHW 3Bomber has determined that 58.35 mm is the perfect size for levelling tools and tampers. These fit exactly into 58 mm portafilters and reduce wastage of coffee powder.

The tamper has an ergonomic handle and sits comfortably in the hand. In addition, the base has concentric grooves, which means that more coffee powder comes into contact with the water, resulting in better extraction.

The entire tamper is made of high-quality materials. The handle is made of solid walnut wood, the middle section is made of an aluminium alloy, the spring and the base (titanium-coated) are made of stainless steel (SUS304). The entire tamper can be dismantled and is therefore easy to clean.
