CoffeeGeek - A Tale of Five Tampers (#)
„Using the Reg Barber tampers is a joy - it fits the hand well, the thickness of the tamper is just the right size to "level" it with the top of your filter basket for making perfect doses of coffee, and it looks damned good doing it. The tampers are in the flat style, which all the others in this roundup don't follow - they all feature convex bases. I'm a firm convert to the convex style of tamper, which makes the Reg less than ideal for my style of tamping. Still, it is a first rate tamper, and as long as Reg has fixed the logo placement issues, it is very much worth the money.“

CoffeeGeek - An Espresso Glossary
„Filter Basket: is a metal, flat bottomed “bowl” shaped insert that fits inside a portafilter. The filter basket holds your bed of ground coffee and has a multitude of tiny holes in the bottom to allow the extracted beverage to seep through and pour into a demitasse cup or other receptacle. Most espresso machines include two filter baskets, a single basket and a double basket, though some machines feature convertible baskets that allow either a single or double shot of espresso to be produced from the same basket.“

CoffeeGeek - Mazzer Mini Electronic - Chas Rimpo's Review
„In addition to replacing the doser with a fancy conical “funnel” to drop the grounds directly into the PF basket, the big selling point, and the reason for the $200 price premium relative to the Mazzer Mini, is the programmable doser feature. There is a single grind button and a double grind button. The idea is that one adjusts the single shot doser screw for the correct amount needed to product a single shot of espresso.“

„I‘d been using a £65 Krupps (toy) machine for a while, and it just basically fell to bits. The basket on the Classic weighs more than the whole Krupps machine, it‘s that solid. I tried about a dozen other machines before I bought this, and I reckon for the price it must be hard to beat.“
