If your bench is lower than in the video - this is even better for a more ideal position - where you turn your body and have your shoulder almost directly over the filter basket. The 90º bend in the elbow here is not necessary, just so long as you have your palm facing inwards, and maintain a straight line from the top of the elbow through the worst - you may even be able to have your shoulder line up above your elbow, and this fill further add protection and make tamping easier.

In using VST filter basket - the recommended size of the tamp head is 58.3mm. Most tamping ranges now have this extended 58.3mm tamp head. Just be aware the 58mm alone - whilst it will still work OKAY, generally are best used only with generic filter baskets. On the other hand - a 58.3mm tamp head may get stuck in a generic filter basket. So always check what size diameter basket you have and purchase the right tamp for you.

In our coffee tamper range, we also have a selection of tamper mats & stations to suit any size brew space. If you're just starting out and looking to add a coffee tamper to your kit, be sure to check out our coffee tamper & mat bundles.
