CoffeeKid - CoffeeGeek Launches! and new stuff! (#)
„You can see it pictured to the left. While I have to give a VERY slight edge still to my favourite all time tamper, the ErgoPacker from Espresso Vivace, I have to say this tamper is a very well made product that would please any serious espresso hound. They are priced at a very economical $26 each, but since they are not yet listed on Terry's website, you will probably have to order direct (1.800.459.5594). Different sizings should be available.“

CoffeeKid - Tampers and Coffee!
„Consider them an essential, crucial even, part of the whole ritual of making espresso. I had a favourite - it was the Presso Tamper from Xpressivo ... but they no longer make the old style tamper - they've modified it, and while many prefer the new model, I liked the old model better. I liked it so much that recently, I brought it to Seattle and when I accidentally left it there, I was in near hysterics!“

CoffeeKid - Ramping up to SCAA 2004 - and More!
„These products are used to compact a bed of coffee into a filter inside a portafilter, for producing the beverage known as espresso. The tamper market has really taken off as of late, but everyone in the biz owes a homage to Reg Barber , of Vancouver Island, for starting this artisan trend.“

„Reg missed the cutoff date for my 2003 Espresso Tamper Shootout article, but the are of sufficient note that I've added a sidebar to the article, and well, I'm mentioning them here.“

CoffeeKid - The Espresso MiniFAQ
„When you tamp with 20lbs or less pressure, you're increasing the chances of a phenomenon called "channeling". Water always seeks the path of lease resistance, and when you tamp light, or don't tamp at all, you run the risk of portions of your lose grounds compacting quicker than others, and water will go through the parts of the coffee that are the least compacted.“
