At JoeFrex, we long sought a way to achieve consistently perfect results when tamping coffee grounds. After extensive testing and development, our founder and inventive spirit, Jörg Rexroth, created the prototype for this pressure-regulated tamper. As the first to market with such a technical tamper, it quickly gained a following among coffee enthusiasts and professional baristas. For nearly 15 years, we have supplied this “Technik” tamper to cafes, bars, and home baristas worldwide. The concept of a tamper that consistently compresses coffee to a smooth, even surface with the exact same pressure has revolutionized the espresso world. This advanced solution allows users to achieve perfect results effortlessly, optimizing the espresso workflow.

Our “Technik” handle ensures an exactly calibratable pressure result, as the mechanism automatically triggers (clicks) once the pre-set maximum pressure is reached. Depending on the coffee type and grind setting, the maximum pressure can be adjusted within a range of 8 kg to 21 kg.

The main body of the handle is crafted from high-quality aluminum, while the base connection, shaft, and compression springs are made of stainless steel. A rubber bumper is integrated between the base and handle for optimal damping.

Care and Handling: Adjust the pressure using the central screw inside the core. Please do not adjust the two lateral hex screws! The tamper can be cleaned with a damp cloth but is NOT dishwasher safe. To ensure smooth operation of the shaft, a drop of fine machine oil can be added from the top occasionally.

The JoeFrex pressure-regulated tamper is the perfect addition for precision-oriented baristas. The spring-loaded mechanism ensures uniform and constant compression in the portafilter, leading to optimal extraction results and a true Italian crema. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling and effortless operation.

Since we test and calibrate every “Technik” tamper before shipping, it is easy to use even for beginners. A robust and durable construction makes it a lifelong companion on your barista journey.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The numbers on the central screw scale (12 – 16 – 20, etc.) are not precise kilogram readings; they serve as a reference to help you remember your preferred settings. Fine calibration should be done through testing until you find your ideal individual pressure setting.

Please note: This is the handle only. The tamper base must be ordered separately. The image showing a complete unit is for illustrative purposes only.
