Tamping is crucial for an optimum result when preparing coffee in the portafilter. Meant is the distribution and the tamping pressure of the coffee powder in the portafilter before it is turned into the brew group. A perfect espresso requires about 7 g of coffee powder for preparation. The optimum amount of liquid is 25 ml, whereby the hot water is pressed through the coffee powder at a pressure of 9 bars. This method of preparation gives a concentrated coffee with a hazelnut-coloured, dense "crema". It is served in a small conical cup made of thick porcelain, where its flavours develop best.
