GEN-5 comes with improved tamping profiles to consitently improve the control over your flow rate.

There are 5 different tamping profiles, all explained below.
Q2 has all five of them. Mini and Q1 have P0, P1 and P4.

Designed to speed up the work flow – 1.3 seconds – 1st tamp with force, 2^nd tamp to polish. The original PUQpress Tamp.

P1: PRECISION
Designed to optimize extraction with a big diameter tamper and competition baskets. PRECISION prevents suction between the tamper and the filter basket, by moving the tamper slowly in the upwards direction –  2.1 seconds – 1st tamp with force, 2^nd tamp to polish.

P2: SOFT
Designed for an extra soft tamp. Has a range of 5kg to 15kg  – 2.5 seconds – 1st tamp with force, 2^nd tamp to polish.

P3: HULK
Designed to achieve a longer extraction time while using the same dose & grind coarsness. For short shots that are used in Flat Whites for example. – 2.5 seconds – 1^st tamp with force, 2^nd tamp with force, 3^rd tamp to polish

Yes you can, it only takes 30 seconds.
Watch how to do that here.

If you want to change a tamper smaller than 56mm to a tamper larger than 56mm or vice versa,  your upper clamp needs to be changed as well. In that case please contact your local dealer for support.

We recommend starting with 30 Lbs or 14 Kg of pressure, then you can move up or down from there depending on your results.
