Re: Tamper recommendations?
Hi Craig,
I guess I can recommend my tamper. It took three prototypes, 1 year and a hell of a lot of cash to develop. You can check it out at www.coffeelabdesign.com. There have been a few changes to it that dont appear on the site. The translucent rubber material has been changed for a more durable material. It will still be coloured, just not translucent. I am finalizing the new colours at the moment and they will be ready in a few weeks. I have also added a few removable collars to the handle so it is now height adjustable to three different heights. The ergonomics and the style of this tamper are superb, even if I say so myself. It is the only tamper on the market with soft rubber grips and the height adjustable feature. Im kinda proud of that. As a working barista I pump out a lot of coffee with this baby and I couldnt recommend it more highly. I dont say that because I developed it, I say it because I use it every day. Some people say it is expensive. I say the Impod at $300 is expensive. I have had to set that price because I wanted it made in Australia, not a sweatshop in China, and the manufacturing process of itself is expensive. My advice to anyone buying a tamper is to look for the guy who has put love and passion in to making his tamper. Folks such as Reg Barber or Bill Pullman definately seem to fit in to that category. Good luck with your search.
Cheers Steve
