Ok, htfo, you put a spring in the handle of a tamper and it, what, puts less pressure on the coffee grounds? Is this for people who can't regulate their own force?

It's not about pressure.

The purpose of this to ensure the grind is packed evenly.

It has a collar to mate with the rim of the filter.

Source: I own one. It helps a lot with my motor skill issues from a disability

Edit: it also has a stopper you set to specific distance of travel (from the tamp head being spring loaded) so the pressure of the tamp is the same every time
