Tamping espresso grounds is an extremely important part of the espresso making process because pressurized water passing through the espresso machine, must meet the resistance of a packed cake of coffee grounds in order to create the espresso consistency and taste. The water must be forced to push through the coffee grounds in order to brew.

A tamper is the tool used to press loose coffee grounds into a tightly packed, evenly dispersed puck within the porta filter, where the water and coffee will come in contact when you are brewing.
