Re: motta tamping base
Good question!
There are a few different brands on the market and Im yet to try them but they seem like a good way of keeping the spouts off the bench and protecting the kitchen surface/edges too.
I look forward to reading what people that use them think.

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
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.
