This discussion of tamping is coffee-specific, although the word has a larger definition. I believe this should be folded into a discussion of coffee equipment, and the word should be moved to wiktionary.
I agree. One can tamp a cigarette, for example. It's the only word that describes that packing action.
I de-coffeed the article. Sorry for removing the coffee specific information, but that should probably be put into a coffee-preparation or the espresso page. Kjl 15:29, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Some of the discussion here revolves around things used to "tamp" with, so I linked the word "tamper" to the existing wikipedia doc of the same name (which describes tools used for tamping, so they don't have to be mentioned here on the "tamp" page which could cause the scope of this page to drift).

It looks like there's a guy advertising coffee tamps on this page. "Has emerged as the leader of the pack in coffee tamping." I don't know if that's a 'biased' statement or not. -- Someone's unsigned comment
So are "tamp" and "tamper" always interchangable? If so the article should start "A tamp or tamper ...". Now the usage is a bit confusing. 141.16.91.106 ( talk) 14:14, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Isn't the device a tamper and the act is to tamp? If so, can I fix this article? Lonny (LRG) ( talk) 05:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
Because there are a variety of tampers used in construction, this page could benefit from expanding on that category. I plan to add information on plate tamps and jumping jacks, what distinguishes them, and what they may be used for. I believe "Tampers in Construction" will fit best as a subheading under the "Examples" heading. Hvanv6420 ( talk) 16:52, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
