You know that scoop thing with the flat round disc shaped end? Well that end is a tamper and after you scoop your freshly ground espresso beans into the porta-filter, you use the other end to tamp it down instead of your fingers. I didn't know what it was either until I looked for tampers on Amazon, and came across it lol. I love how you can still steam milk while you are brewing the espresso so you can make that perfect latte.
