    Re: Dema.RAL tamper discussion

    Hi Luca. You like the way the lights are activated by the touch pad? And turn off when the pour is finished. Its amaizing what you can do with low voltage, low profile miniture down lights. If you still hang around that place (bond st), ask Milton for my new mobile number, will talk a bit more about the tamper. Show him this page if you have to.

    Cheers.

      Hi Mal. Luca and YeeZa. This is Angelo.  Luca Ive known you for a while now, the others I dont Know. The reason behind this tamper is to introduce concistancy across the board for a franchise company or a chain of coffee shops using set doses not grind on demand, yes if you want a real low dose and is outside of your normal range it wont press it but then again if you consistantly drop a low dose you can setup the tamper to this depth.
      Hi Angelo,
      I was talking about this tamper the other day praising its seeming ability for it to be used in a commercial environment where doses are set. Itd be great for consistency with this. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh one day and having a play. Its great to see new products come out with new innovations. Great looking piece of kit.

        I had a play with these at the Diamond C stand at Fine Foods a couple of months ago. Very neat design and I can see their place in commercial trade.

          Hi all.
          I read all of your feedback with attention, as I can not "play" with tampers here in Greece.
          I had two RB tampers for many years,and last month, I bought one Macap CPS automatic tamper, at 260+20=280.00Euros,because I had a pain in my hand.
          The result? My espresso cup, is way better.
          Of course, I can not compare this, with other tampers, other than RBs I had.
          But the price, is an issue for sure.

            The very shy Michael Agrotis from Diamond C is the hand model in this shot.

              Diamond C are the distributors of these and we have a lot of site sponsors to the left that buy wholesale from them. I expect that you will see them being offered soon.

              The only gotcha that noticed was the demo ones had pretty long handles. Custom handles or a choice of short, medium and long handles might be needed to cover the range of hand sizes in the market place but really, you can tamp with a clenched fist with these and it comes out the same!

                I like the idea of the tamper that keeps the tamp straight, with changeable pressure too! Great for training.

                I think for experienced people it would make it difficult to see and feel what is going on. I constantly change my pressure and/or dose, especially when my grind is between clicks on my grinder. Keeping it level is all to do with a good technique and the rings on the side of the tamper give a good quick check.

                Im off to test the ripple base tomorrow. I got delayed with a trip to Tokyo. Gave me a good chance to try out Paul Bassetts cafe!

                Ill be taking some photos of the different tampers, some wet pucks and a bit of my art while Im at it. Also tasting and timing notes.

                  Any chance that the company manufacturing the ripple base tamper aslo produces (or got the idea from) those non slip stainless things on sidewalks everywhere???

                    I dont reckon they make the things on the sidewalks / footpaths but its anyones guess where the idea came from. Either way theres no doubt they make for a pretty puck though.

                              Cant answer the question, but if you can operate a slayer to its full potential, it seems strange that you would you need a tamper with training wheels?
