Great review. I ordered one of the tamper/distribution tools to use with my Flair Pro 2, and it will be delivered on Friday. I'm really looking forward to using it.
The description of how the tamper provides consistent pressure is incorrect. The tamper has two springs. One provides light resistance between the handle and skirt that seats on the portafilter rim. The second spring, which is changeable, creates the specific pressure between the handle and the tamping surface pushing against the coffee. Much like a torque wrench, the tamper will release pressure when the specific number is reached.
@@richterstitcher7936 It's too expensive and too fiddly of a hobby for my budget right now. I've spent way too much money the past couple years on upgrades and fancy crap I really don't need because as I've found out, I'm easily influenced. LOL I just can't continue to justify it anymore when I'm the only one using it. womp womp
@@Ginger_Lily I totally get it ginger. My husband pulls the reins on my spending quite often :-) it is so true I am also very easily influenced & not planning on getting another machine until we build a Lake-house. Maybe a year or two down the road so I have plenty of time to research the best one for us. thankfully he’s a coffee drinker!👍
Good review I have a unbranded distribution and palm tamper how ever when ever I distribute the coffee grinds I can always see a buildup around the edges of the surface of the tool. Does this occur on the normcore one? Thanks
Love the tamper. I'm curious about their new spinning needle distributor. It looks like an affordable version of the product it's based off of, but I'm afraid of the needles being too thick for it to be effective.
Great review Dylan. Good to know where I can get a good quality coffee tools without breaking the bank!👍
That is if you need 58mm tools!!
I have the Normcore all in one tamper/distribution tool and I am very pleased with it. Excellent shots each time. I recommend normcore.
how do you adjust the level of the distributor
@@Malkhazraji9 you twist it counterclockwise to loosen it... adjust as needed then tighten again
@@DavidRBermudez what’s your preferred depth for a 18g dose
@@Malkhazraji9 i just tamp until i get no more resistance from the puck, then I adjust the depth...it varies from coffee to coffee

Please, share us your results!
Their products are amazing
Good reviews, i love it
Thanks so much from Thailand.
Is the tamper spring loaded on the 2-in-1?
Does the tamper function the same way on the all in one as it does the standalone tamper?
If i have the normcore tamper, is it worth getting the distribution tool? I often feel like my result after tamping isn’t level

Instagram great video!!
Thank you Brent!!!!
I'm no longer using my espresso machine, but wanted to swing by and drop a quick hello and a thumbs up for you, my friend.
Awee thank you so much 😊
Hi Ginger. No more coffee?

Hoon's Coffee did a video on it, it looked to be fine. It's just non-adjustable.
Have you used Force Tamper? If yes, How do you compare it with Normcore V4?
I have never used the force tamper but absolutely love the v4 from Normcore!!
Does the palm tamper version make a horrible screeching sound when you adjust it?
Nope not on my end :)
@@DylansHomeEspressoBar Amazing! Just to be clear, the palm tamper is spring-loaded on the tamper side, right?
Does v4 work the same as D force tamper?
Honestly I’ve never used the force tamper but I love Normcore products
Bro, will the normcore tamper 58.5mm fits the vst basket? I saw on the vst website that the vst basket is 58.4 +0/-0.5 mm, it’s not 58.5mm.
Yes!!
I believe so
Thanks! :)
@@movoyemickele the vst basket it 56.65 mm, so the 56.5 mm tamper should be an even better fit
Great review! May I know if the 58.5mm tamper can use for 57mm filter basket?
No. It's too wide. It won't fit into your basket.
5 time cheaper than the force tamper !
Wrong. It's easier to create an angle with the tamper with handle.
not really that's up to the person
