Haha
Not quite, its 32mm same as the ims one. 19g with the 1.7mm puck screen. Ims is actually bigger as its 54.7mm not 54.4 diameter, so an extra half a bean bigger 🤭
I do have the 26mm ims but thats too small 🤭😎

I make “normal” and decaf for my wife, but the decaf needs 1 to 1.5g More not less…..
I Wish they made a 29mm high basket

Pompeyexile I don’t know about this one, but as a Normcore user I reckon you should go for the 3bomber 👍

Dont rate normcore they wobble when tamping, at least the v3 did
Try to pick up a used decent tamper

V4 was the same. Consistently unlevel. I sent it back.
I use an AliExpress special now, a copy of the force tamper, can’t recall who recommended it, was on this forum though I believe. It is doing a reasonable job, it’s pretty level I have to say. Not a fan of the click style though, it causes coffee grounds to accumulate underneath the levelling plate, above the tamping face.
As a result, every now and again it unseats the puck, I use an 18g vst basket. I find cleaning it thoroughly necessary and ensuring all parts have not loosened in their threads in order to avoid the puck being disturbed.
Yeh, when I was typing the above I had a thought that it may have been you that recommended it. It tamps very level, so on that front it’s a winner.
Just the odd occasion it disturbs the puck, can usually isolate the cause due to coffee grounds or part of it coming loose, but mostly likely just a very snug fit to the VST
Yeah they can lift, like vacuum, i take off at a slight angle

On the bravo videos, it is even mentioned by the manufacturer to ensure releasing the first spring movement very slowly for this exact reason.

If its a tight fit you will get suction causing a bit of splatter if you pull it out too quickly 😎 .
Time for a coffee ☕

Inspector You’re right about it wobbling and not always delivering a level puck, but I reckon the most important issue is that it “bottoms out”. It’s not providing a consistent pressure. Having said that it’s still better than a traditional tamper.
