Yikes, thanks for the good word Greg, now Im starting to get a few responses.  Guess you would be one to know that Im practically giving this away. :P

Ummm,... yes. I could hardly make half a Pullman for that. Anyway yours is a bargain at $50 and a steal at $35, hope it sells soon for you!

Thats a great deal Gavin, even at the original price! Considering there arent many BZ-07s around, you might like to give the exact diameter of the tamper base so owners of non-Bezz machines can consider it.

hmm...no takers?

Allright, Ill let it go for $35, Thats less than the material + machining cost. Im pretty sure it will fit most portafilters (Bezzera, Silvias, Sumbeams, etc), like I said, we can meet up and measure them together to make sure its a good fit.

Hi CSers,

I had a couple of tampers custom made for my Bezzera BZ07 a couple of weeks ago, thought it would be nice to have two, but Ive ended up using only one and the other one is just sitting in my cupboard, so I thought Ill let it go.

So BZ07 users, this ones for you!! Being custom made, Ive made it to fit my basket, with only 0.1mm allowance.  It tamps beautifully, I get my tamp first time, every time (the weight of about 780 grams helps too).

Its machined out of a solid stainless steel bar, a bit extreme I know, but that means no gaps for coffee grounds to get stuck in and it just looks cool  8-).  Ive used 316 stainless steel, which is suitable for even harsh marine environments.  The coffee tamp surface is machined to 0.8 microns, a very nice smooth finish for an excellent tamping surface.

Ive had it machined with a knob to prevent it slipping from the hand, and my index and middle finger fits between the head and the knob very comfortably.

$50 is my asking price considering the quality stainless and all the machining work.  If you are not a BZ07 user and are interested, let me know if you want to meet up - I bring the tamper, you bring your basket.  If you want delivery, you have to pay the cost, but I cant guarantee that it will fit your basket.
