Coffee Parts Espresso Tamper Review
Let's be honest, it's hard to be totally un-biased reviewing our own products, so let's just explain our why to this product. We believed that well thought of and designed tampers could and should be affordable, and this tamper we believe is a reflection. There are some absolutely beautiful designer espresso tampers on the market such as the Pullman range which we love, but not everyone barista can or want to spend that budget.
