What we like
- Removes tamping-force inconsistency between shots entirely
- Audible and tactile click makes the endpoint unmistakable, even for beginners
- Flat, precisely machined base seats evenly against the basket rim
What we don't
- Fixed calibration means you can't dial in a different target force yourself
- Feels noticeably "softer" than a firm hand tamp, which throws off experienced baristas at first
- No self-leveling — uneven distribution before tamping still produces uneven pucks
