I wish there was some more videos of this because it sucks. Worst decision.
It works great, easy to handle.
Small scale with some smart setting for different coffee brewing methods. Very accurate.
Good temper for sage barista 54mm. Nice finish and strong base
Easy to use, solidly made and mechanism works nicely. My only negative that it’s not quite the right size for a 58mm portafilter as it kicks up grounds around the edges of the portafilter so when you then lay a shower screen over the puck the unsettled grounds around the edges settle on top of the screen.
Aside of this I really like it
Fits perfectly 54mm basket

V1 V2 V3 V4 puck screen what is the difference. How should I choose
The IKAPE puck screens are different in thickness.
The thickness of V1 is 1.7
The thickness of V2 and V3 is 0.8, but the shape of the filter distribution is different.
The thickness of V4 is 0.2
It depends on the amount of coffee beans you use and your coffee making habits. If you tend to use medium roasted beans for espresso, or if you use less beans, or if you prefer a coarser grind (to retain the flavor of the coffee more finely), it is recommended to use a thicker espresso puck screen in order to provide sufficient pressure, the V1 is the best choice.
Under normal circumstances, V2 and V3 can meet neutral requirements without any special requirements.
If you use a lot of beans and prefer a finer grind (with a pronounced bitter flavor), then the thinnest V4 is the best choice.
Why does the coffee tamper use a threaded shape for the bottom surface?
The threaded shape of the bottom can leave a threaded shape on the coffee powder, which is conducive to the extraction, the same time, the coffee powder has a larger contact area with the running water, so that the extraction occurs, you can retain a better coffee flavor
