One of the critical variables in tamping, a seemingly \r\nsimple action of compacting coffee, can have detrimental effects on your\r\n coffee if done incorrectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe Compak Cube automatic tamper is incredibly intuitive and easy to \r\nuse. It’s one of the best automatic tampers for espresso on the market \r\ntoday. Its unique design fits right in with the look of the Compak, as \r\nwell as other espresso grinders. To tamp your coffee, insert your \r\nportafilter filled with your freshest coffee into the portafilter forks.\r\n The blue induction sensor auto recognizes your portafilter and quickly \r\ntamps at the precise pressure perfectly level!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\r\nChanging the Tamper Head\r\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tOne of the unique features of the Compak Cube automatic tamper is \r\nit’s easy to change tamper heads. On the \r\nCompak Cube, the tamper head is effortless to change without using any \r\ntools, just your two hands! Please download the manual for more information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAll of the tamping heads have an anti-static mirror-polished finish \r\nthat prevents grind contamination while also making it easier to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdjusting the Portafilter Fork\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe Cube is entirely hands-free. Your portafilter rests on a very \r\nsturdy cast aluminum portafilter fork. Throughout the entire tamping \r\nprocess, you never have to touch the portafilter until you’re ready to \r\nbrew. Adjusting the portafilter fork on the Compak Cube Automatic Tamper\r\n can be done quickly by just loosening, or tightening, the screw \r\nunderneath the forks towards the back of the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRaise the Portafilter Fork\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIf you loosen the screw to the left, or counterclockwise the \r\nportafilter fork will raise and shorten the space between the forks and \r\nthe tamper head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLower the Portafilter Fork\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIf you tighten the screw to the right or clockwise, the portafilter \r\nfork will raise and shorten the space between the forks and the tamper \r\nhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTamping Pressure\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTraditionally the general rule of thumb is that the tamping pressure \r\nshould be around thirty-pounds of pressure. The repeated stress of \r\ntamping at 30lbs of pressure in a cafe creates stress on the joints, and\r\n if you’re experiencing issues related to joint pain already, this can \r\nassuredly put you out of making a great coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tWith the Compak Cube automatic tamper, you can adjust the pressure \r\nfrom 10kg to 30kg (22lbs to 66lbs) easily. The touchscreen is incredibly\r\n easy to use and has a similar feel to the Compak grinders like the \r\nCompak E5. You can also switch the unit of measure from kilograms to \r\npounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEasy Cleaning Mode\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe Compak Cube automatic tamper does need to be cleaned in a cafe \r\ndaily, at home, probably weekly. Cleaning the Compak Cube doesn’t \r\nrequire much effort, if any, with the Compak Cube’s automatic cleaning \r\nmode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTo initiate the automatic cleaning process on the Compak Cube, it’s \r\nvery similar to how you would tamp your coffee. There is one difference \r\nbetween tamping and cleaning, though; just press the ‘Clean’ button. \r\nAfter pressing the ‘Clean’ button, the tamper will lower the tamping \r\nhead for approximately ten seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable tamping pressure from 10 to 30 kg (22-66 lb.)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\r\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure unit selection (Kg\/lb.)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\r\n\u003cli\u003ePortafilter holder adjustable height to fit all types of portafilters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eElectronic Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic cleaning mode\u003c\/li\u003e\t\r\n\u003cli\u003eOLED display with touchpad\u003c\/li\u003e\t\r\n\u003cli\u003eEnlightened tamping area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNot Compatible with \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree-lobed\r\nportafilters like the following 54mm from Breville:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/3605\/0736\/files\/breville_66e7a6db-efc4-49ba-9854-f731690b02f9.jpg?v=1749847476\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Compak","offers":[{"title":"58mm","offer_id":49889422672176,"sku":"CompakCubeBlack58","price":1329.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"53mm","offer_id":49889422704944,"sku":"CompakCubeBlack53","price":1329.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"54.3mm","offer_id":49889422737712,"sku":"CompakCubeBlack54","price":1329.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"58.3mm","offer_id":49889422770480,"sku":"CompakCubeBlack58.3","price":1329.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/3605\/0736\/files\/compak-cube-tamper_blk.jpg?v=1782468524","url":"https:\/\/www.espressoplanet.com\/products\/compak-cube-tamp-electronic-automatic-coffee-tamper-press-black","provider":"Espresso Planet - Supramatic Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
