Normcore v4.1 Spring Loaded Coffee Tamper

The Normcore V4.1 Spring Loaded Coffee Tamper is the next evolution of Normcore’s popular spring-loaded tamping system, designed for home baristas and professionals who want consistent, repeatable espresso extraction. Building on the strengths of the V4.0 model, the V4.1 introduces important refinements that make tamping easier, more precise, and more intuitive.

V4.1 Features versus 4.0

• Audible Click Feedback: V4.1 adds a clear click sound that confirms when the optimal tamping pressure has been reached. This feedback helps remove guesswork and ensures consistent tamp pressure with every shot.
• Improved Spring Mechanism: The V4.1’s upgraded internal spring system delivers more uniform pressure and smoother compression compared to the V4.0. This can lead to more consistent puck preparation.
• Stability Enhancements: The updated sleeve and mechanism in the V4.1 are designed to reduce wobble and provide a more refined tamping feel, improving comfort and control.
• Same Great Features as V4.0: Like the previous model, V4.1 still uses a self-leveling spring system and interchangeable springs to help you achieve repeatable tamping without manual guesswork.

We find that these refinements make the V4.1 especially suited for those who want precise pressure control, repeatable results, and a more assertive way of knowing when the tamp is correct.
