Re:To tamp hard or not to... - 2007/08/07 14:43 I upgraded to Silvia/Rocky last week. The 1st time I used Silvia, I did the usual 30lb tamp. The result was okay. Then I remembered that Colin talked about light tamp so I decided to give it a try. The result was surprisingly good!

Over the long weekend, I played with the grind and the tamping pressure. I now use 2 level scoops of beans, grind at setting 5. Tamp lightly. 2 oz shots at around 27 seconds.

I like my new light tamp routine. As Colin said, let the grinder do the work. I haven't had any bad shots from my Silvia yet.
