Spotted on the 9Bar stand at CafeBiz 2013 was this contraption.

It's a Compak K10 Fresh with a weight adjustable lever tamp gizmo.
Simply dial-in the tamp base to the weight you want to tamp.
I know this has the potential of being a killer gizmo for consistent coffee in places that have a lot of different staff during the day who all grind and tamp differently. I can already think of a couple of cafes that we supply roasted coffee who could use one of these.
Similar standalone ideas have been tried in the past but I don't know of one with a down force weight adjustment and mounted on the grinder.
It's only just past prototype stage at the moment but I look forward to having a longer play with one in the future to see how well it works in real world use.
