„No. But a firm hand is needed if the Barista is going to make heavenly espresso with a Traditional machine. Ewan Reid, the effervescent Technical & Quality Director at Matthew Algie, bubbles into activity at the mention of tamping...

„Well that is what I would have thought too. I did say that to the lady on the phone and she said that they have been told to say that they are only for Matthew Algie machines. I suppose that it is to cover themselves if it doesn't fit someones machine. Seeing as your friend uses one though I shall assume its fine and get one :)“
