A broad top for a palm press

This IKAPE impact tamper from the Geometry Series has a low, wide body and a broad top, so the pressure comes from your whole palm. IKAPE states that this reduces hand fatigue when you tamp several shots in a row. The product photos show a black body with a wooden top insert.

A 30 lb impact release

A trigger spring inside the body holds the mechanism until you press, then releases a calibrated 30 lb (13.6 kg) impact into the base. IKAPE states that the impact gives the puck an even density throughout. IKAPE's photos show a stainless steel tamping face with concentric ridges.

A silicone base is supplied

Every Geometry Series tamper comes with a fitted anti-slip silicone base. The tamper stands in it between shots, and IKAPE states that it protects the stainless steel base from scratches.

Choose the right size

  • De'Longhi Dedica (EC685 / EC885) and other compact 51 mm machines.51 mm
  • Sage / Breville machines with 54 mm baskets, including Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch and Bambino Plus.53.3 mm
  • 58.35 mm: standard 58 mm baskets on E61 group machines, Gaggia Classic, Rancilio Silvia, Lelit, ECM, Profitec and La Marzocco.

How to use it

  1. Dose into a dry basket and break up clumps with a WDT tool or a distributor.
  2. Stand the portafilter on a mat or in a station, since an impact needs a base that will not move.
  3. Set the tamper flat on the coffee and press with the palm until the mechanism releases.
  4. Lift it straight off and stand it in the silicone base.

Materials and care

IKAPE describes the tamping base as stainless steel and the supplied stand as silicone.

Wipe the base after use and dry it, and brush dry grounds out of the ridges. Do not soak the tamper, because the trigger spring and the release mechanism sit inside the body. Wash the silicone stand with warm water and dry it before the tamper goes back in, since a damp stand keeps a wet base wet.
