In our first of many upcoming "how to" videos, we talk about tamping. Tamping is the process of getting an even and flat surface on the espresso so that the water will hit the espresso pellet evenly and allow the coffee to permeate evenly. 

We recently got a heavier tamp and are loving it! Tamping is an art unto itself. If you have any questions after watching the video, drop them in the comments!
