Don't tap the side of the espresso portafilter too hard after the first tamp. By tapping the portafilter sharply, it is possible to dislodge the espresso puck from the sides which will create channeling along the sides of the portafilter. This is especially important for people using naked portafilters, as the portafilter will shoot them with espresso if side channeling occurs. After first tamp, tap the side of the portafilter as lightly as possible, just enough to disperse any built up loose grounds on top of the puck.
