Helps with de-clumping but my grinder's pretty good at providing 'fluffy' grounds.
I normally just tap the portafilter a few times to level the heap, gently press the tamper down (bit of turning to assist levelling). Seems to provide a pretty even extraction, flow tends to come in a single stream from the centre pretty much every time.
