Re: motta tamping base
Im going to get one. Tamping a single spout holder can be a wobbley pain. And anything that protects the filter spouts and the bench top - stainless steel in my case - has to be useful I reckon.
I like the rubber encased stainless ones. But then again I might just make a nice wooden one.

Re: motta tamping base
This is the one that I use and they make tamping a lot easier specially when using the single spout. Well worth the money and as Andy said it saves damaging the bench..Originally posted by 153D3D31500 link=1265434555/0#0 date=1265434555can anyone tell me if tamping bases are useful or a waste of money?

Re: motta tamping base
I bought a no name one a while back on Ebay from our latest sponsor Coffee-a-Roma. I love it and its especially handy on those rare occasions I use the single spout.
It seems to be well constructed and should be fine for those who favour Neanderthal tamping pressures.

Re: motta tamping base
I just got this stand at Christmas and find it useful for keeping the spouts clean. I got by for 3-years without it but like it now that I have it.

Re: motta tamping base
Just wondering if metal to metal is the way to go. Somethings going to get scratched and its more likely to be the plating on the brass filter handle.Originally posted by 143C3C30510 link=1265434555/4#4 date=1265441511thanks for the replies. the base that i am looking at is full stainless with no rubber. would this be okay or would it damage the handle. also what brand base is in the photo?
