Hi all,
Per the thread title, I require a new tamper as the handle of my fairly generic 58mm convex based tamper snapped off a few days ago. Last time around I got the convex base, due to the standard Silvia shower screen screw protruding into the middle of the puck.
Now that I'm in the market again, I figured I'd review my options again, and see what others are finding success with, such as:
- convex tamper
- flat tamper (can the correct dose be achieved with the stock shower screen screw?)
- flat tamper + counter-sunk shower screen screw mod?
I'm using a larger-than-the-standard-Silvia aftermarket double basket... not a Synesso, but can't remember exactly where I got it... possibly coffeeparts from memory.
FWIW, I'm leaning towards doing the shower screen screw replacement (where do people source this?), and a flat base tamper, but keen to hear what's working for other users!
Cheers,
Damien
