Why no tap between tamps?
simple mate ... 58.2 diameter tamper grabs the edge really well so not much coffee left on the inside rim. "Tap" creates cracks, and that means uneven extraction.
I will happily second that no tap technique and it seems its one that our current wbc champ would agree with as well (judging from his performance at the wbc). Even with a tamper base that is not custom fitted to the baskets that you're using, you are better off just tamping twice with the same pressure to get that coffee of the sides of the basket. Thats what I do anyway.
