Slingshot Kilo Automatic 58.4mm Tamper

Slingshot Kilo Automatic 58.4mm Tamper

Kilo’ is an Automatic coffee Tamper designed for the busy coffee shop where speed, efficiency and consistency are required. Our goal is to “deliver a perfect level tamp for every shot, regardless of the barista on duty". The downward tamping force ranges from a light 3 Kg to a heavy 30 Kg, and users can program the machine to tamp a single coffee bed up to three times, each at a different pressure. Baristas may choose different numbers and pressures of compressions for different origins prepared in different doses and grind settings.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• The unit is hands-free. The barista inserts the handle which activates a proximity sensor causing the tamp disk to lower. The pressure and number of tamping are programmable by the user from 3 to 30 kgs of weight. The pressure is adjustable on the fly, with a conveniently top located touchpad.
• Cleaning is straightforward and is only required once a week (more for high volume cafes).

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

• The main benefit is obvious: no more tamping related repetitive stress injuries on fingers, wrists, arms, shoulders and backs.
• Secondly, the unit does deliver on its simple promise by tamping: level and consistently
• The device also fixes the awkward workflow in which the barista needs to do 180 degree turns to tamp and back again to insert the handle.
