This tamping stand is a functional accessory designed to optimise your coffee brewing, especially when using Sage Barista Express machines. It creates a stable and firm base when you tamp the ground coffee powder in the portafilter. The use of a tamping stand can contribute to a more consistent and even tamping pressure, which is essential for extracting the full flavour and aroma from your coffee beans and achieving a well-balanced espresso. At the same time, it protects your work surface from scratches and spills, and helps to keep your coffee preparation area organised.
