Bravo Mini Tamper

Just like the original Bravo Tamper, the Mini Tamper is designed to ensure even compression and consistent tamping pressure on every puck you prepare. The Mini Tamper, however, trades the traditional handle for a shorter, rounder one that allows you to use palm pressure instead of grip strength for compression. 

This is a professional-grade barista tool that will level up your espresso preparation experience, whether at home, in the office, or in your cafe. 

The tamper has two springs which combine to ensure you’re applying consistent pressure. You can adjust tamping pressure between 26 and 34 lbs by removing the cap and using an Allen key. Default tamping pressure is set to 34 lbs and will decrease approximately 2.5 lbs per millimeter turned with the Allen bolt. Once your desired tamping pressure has been reached, thread seal tape will be necessary to secure the Allen bolt in place.

The outer rim on Bravo’s Mini Tamper rests gently on the outside of the portafilter to ensure a level tamp. Unlike other spring-operated tampers, the Bravo Mini Tamper also features a second spring that prevents you from applying excessive pressure on the puck. 

If you take your morning coffee seriously, this is a tool that will quickly become a staple in your espresso routine. We recommend pairing the Mini Tamper with Bravo’s

Distributor for an even more level and consistent tamp.

This Mini Tamper is available in both 54.7mm and 58.5mm sizes with powder coated black aluminum and dark wood handles. 

How to Use the Bravo Mini Tamper

  1. Place the Bravo Tamper on top of your coffee grounds so that the rim rests on the perimeter of your portafilter.
  2. Slowly press down with one hand using the ergonomic handle, to compress the coffee.
  3. Continue to press down with a consistent pressure until you feel the pressure from the second internal spring and the surface of the tamper hits the coffee bed. You will feel the upper axis of the tamper touch the screw cap—this indicates that your tamper has reached a sufficient amount of tamping pressure.
  4. Slowly release the tamper, letting it return to its original position so that you do not create a vacuum and disturb the coffee bed.
  5. If desired, apply gentle pressure and rotate the tamper clockwise and counterclockwise to further polish the coffee bed.
