Thread: My Custom C Ripple Tamper

Not sure if this belongs here, feel free to move this thread.

I have been dying to try out this tamper, its a custom c ripple I had made for me. Its a convex with ripples to the edge Its made from aluminum handle and a stainless steal base. I had this done for only $23.95 shipped!!!!


I am very impressed with the quality of this guy and a hefty little fellow too.

It made all the difference in the world, the most crema I have ever got from an extraction and it wasn't bitter at all. It was smooth, rich & buttery I couldn't be happier.

Here are a few pics, sorry about the dirty cup this one is a pick of the second extraction.

Where does one acquire such a lovely custom made tamper? It looks great. Did you do it yourself? Very nice!

What does one use that tamper for? I equate it to pipes, but that really doesn't look like something you'd use on a pipe.

Come on, it's clearly a bludgeoning weapon! Or...a cattle brand.

*Cough*

Yeah, I don't know what it is either.

Does it crush coffee beans or something?

That's what I was thinking. At first I thought it was an old school wax stamp for sealing letters

Yeah, it looked like a stamp for a seal to me too.

Which reminds me: I can't believe it took them so long to invent the envelope. Drippin' wax all over the place for all those centuries. Sheesh.

I also don't know where tamping comes into play when making coffee, but I was thinking it would be cool to get a mini one to use on a pipe.
