How Much Tamping Pressure?
Apply 20-30 Pounds of Pressure, and Polish More and More Are Finding That Tamping Pressure Is Overrated—It's Hard on the Wrist and Cause an over-Extracted...
Does tamping pressure really matter?
In short, we found that higher tamping pressure made no difference to the extraction. The extraction times weren't longer for the 30kg tamping, nor were they more consistent from shot to shot – they were exactly the same.
Does tamping affect pressure?
As I mentioned earlier, you don't want to rely on tamping pressure as a variable because humans aren't consistent. If you tamp lighter, it's almost impossible to do so consistently. Slight changes in pressure will result in drastic changes to density (and hence, flow rate).
