MHW 3Bomber Impact Tamper, Yu Series

The Yu series is designed to convey the concept of "guided by heart." It combines traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. The design of the series is characterized by simplicity and elegance, creating a unique espresso aesthetic.

Tamping compacts the coffee powder in the sieve to obtain a firm and uniform coffee cake with a smooth and even surface. Correct tamping prevents the channelling effect and ensures that all the coffee powder is extracted evenly, releasing all the flavorings from the coffee.

The Impact Tamper is a pressure-controlled tamper with a preset pressure. When the preset pressure is reached, a mechanical signal sounds as feedback, and the tamper releases the pressure again. After several tests, MHW 3Bomber has established that the extraction rate at the preset pressure is almost the same for different quantities of powder and different extraction times. The outer ring, which lies flat on the portafilter, ensures that the tamper is always pressed down vertically. The tamper is simply placed on top and pressed down, with the spring pulling the base back up again.

This tamper fits perfectly on 53 mm portafilters. Through repeated testing, MHW 3Bomber has determined that 53.35 mm is the perfect size for levelling tools and tampers. These fit exactly into 53 mm portafilters and reduce wastage of coffee powder.

The handle is coated with silicone to ensure a perfect grip. In addition, the base has concentric grooves, allowing more coffee powder to come into contact with the water, resulting in better extraction.

The entire tamper is made of high-quality materials. The handle and middle section are made of an aluminium alloy, while the base and spring are made of stainless steel. The entire tamper can be dismantled and is therefore easy to clean.

With this tamper, perfect coffee extraction can be achieved when used correctly.
