Cut my teeth on your Tall Bubinga American Convex. Love it. Still my favorite style and still using the same one at home 'spro bar 7 years later. And nice job on the Tall Bubinga with black delron and custom engraving for my Kafe last Fall!

Hi Reg!
Still have my first pretty tamper made by you next to my machine. The one with the "press & twist" logo..... this was for my home use machine about 9 years ago. Now I have had a speciality coffee shop 3 years, my own barista school, and in the meantime I am the leader of a coffee academy in Vienna..... with coffee life never gets boring! Thanks for beeing an important part of it - cheers, joey

Ok Mr Barber. I have looked all over the internet and indeed spoken to many baristas to find information about your ripple tamper. What are the benefits and how does the ripple affect extraction and compaction/resistance to pressure?

Regards

Lee

Dude!
I finally opened my own place!

The tamper you made me, with my "rat in a spacehelmet" tattoo is the only one on the bar. I'm pumping out a blend from Hines on a Simonelli and it's taking off. I'd love it if you stopped by.

I'm still making coffee at Trabant Coffee & Chai in Seattle, and LOVING it!

I think our cafe just placed an order for a few coffee tampers for some of the new baristas. I can't wait to see what new tampers they've all picked out, it's exciting to see so many different ones!

Talk to you soon!
