Built with an aluminum-alloy handle and food-grade SUS304 stainless steel base, it avoids coatings and emphasizes durability and hygiene. The ripple base increases surface contact to help enhance aromatic extraction compared with a flat base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the dual-spring design affect tamping consistency?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twin-spring system lets the tamp deliver a smoother, more controlled downward force while still allowing the user some tactile feedback.
