Barismo Spec Tamper


Well they say great minds think a like... and the guys on over at Barismo have a great mind for all things coffee and espresso alike.

First and foremost, what is the "B-Spec" or "Barismo Spec" Tamper? Well currently our version of the "Barismo Spec" Tamper is an matte finished Espressocraft tamp handle and custom brass bezel mod'd to fit the classic Espresso Parts height convex piston.

Why the Espresso Parts piston? Well our original piston design was machined to a vertical height on the sides that complimented a perfectly dosed basket. Basically, if you dosed correctly the piston edge would meet up perfectly with the basket edge. Besides knowing wether or not you were dosing accurately, leveling could be easily confirmed with a quick glance or feel.

FYI we also released a graphical treatment for piston bases which are available on this tamp on should be available on the rest of the Espresso Parts pistons tomorrow or the next.
