There’s no need to grip the tamper very tight. Hold it loosely and comfortably, keeping your wrist neutral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRest the portafilter level on the counter (preferably on a tamping mat so as to not damage the portafilter or the surface). Keeping the tamper level, slowly lower it onto the bed of coffee and press the tamper into the table just until you feel the table pressing back at you. That’s it! There’s no need for a twist of the tamper or for a second tamp. Also, don’t worry if you are pressing hard enough or not. It is better to press consistently and level than to press as hard as you can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003ePro Tip: when tamping, keep your forearm perpendicular to the table and portafilter.
