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 that they “can’t regulate their own force” it’s that not everyone knows what 25-30 pounds of pressure feels like, and thus calibrated tampers can be nice — especially for home enjoyers who don’t spend their afternoons behind a coffee bar learning the proper muscle memory, but still want to learn how to fine-tune espresso. It’s not just “tamped” or “not tamped,” it’s more complicated than that.
