The name tempera comes from the English word "tamping", which means to tamp.
The tamper presses the coffee into the holders, compacting the ground coffee and forming a coffee tablet from it. The tamper is needed to slow down the speed of water flow through it, as well as to increase the uniformity of wetting the coffee.
Evenly distributing water through the tamped coffee ensures optimal extraction and a high quality final drink. Otherwise, the water flow will be irregular and the coffee will be too acidic, not strong enough or watery.
