In this video, Pedro from Coffee Parts takes us through the evolution of coffee tampers. He starts by discussing the early days when tampers were attached to grinders or built into coffee machines. Then, he explores the development of hand tampers, from basic plastic tampers to more specialized options with various curves and materials.

Pedro then dives into the world of benchtop tampers, starting with the Mazzer press and moving on to the Macap CPS press and the Versalab Press. He explains how these tampers offered consistency and reduced the risk of repetitive strain injuries for baristas. Finally, he introduces us to the automatic tampers, specifically the Puq Press and the Slingshot Kilo. These electric tampers provide precise and consistent tamping every time, saving time and effort for baristas.

Overall, the evolution of coffee tampers has led to greater consistency, convenience, and speed in the coffee-making process. The automatic tampers showcased in this video, such as the Puq Press and Slingshot Kilo, offer baristas a reliable and efficient tool for achieving a perfect tamp.
