New Tampers!!

This week we received our brand new shipment of Espresso Gear coffee tampers!!
We have two styles.

The first is the Luce. It weighs in at 175 grams. The handle is made of a really nice hand gripping plastic that really grips in your hand. The base is a highly hand polished stainless steel. We ordered the base to have a slight convex shape. This we feel gives better seal to the edge of the basket and helps in avoiding channeling. The other great thing about the Espresso Gear products are the colours!
We stock the full range of colours. They are priced at £24.95 which is a great price for a tamper that will last for years.

The second and bigger brother of the Luce is the Barista. The Barista weighs in at 270 grams. It has a really nice weight to it. The handle is nice and rounded and fits nicely in the palm of your hand. It has some soft grip like plastic in the handle that provides good grip. Again we have ordered the slightly convex shape to aid tamping. All the colours are available.
A nice touch with these tampers is the ability to reduce the handle length by 5mm. Just below the rubber grip there is a stainless steel ring that can be removed to shorten the handle.

Espresso Gear by Xpressivo are really coming out with some great innovative products. We have some more of their products which I will detail in a later post.
