The Espresso Ledge

take a small bathroom scale and see what 30 pounds feels like pressing on the scale with your tamper and you'll pretty soon have it dialed in.

Personally, I like tamping lighter and grinding finer and would put my tamp at much less than 30lbs.

I've done the bathroom scale thing...I'm just wondering if I'm staying constant with my 30 pound tamp. I'm also a victim of upgradeitis, and those calibrated tampers are just plain cool.

I have the Espro Clicker tamper.

Yes, it's pricey. But, it removes one more variable from the equation, and I like using it.
