Hey Kid's it is time to get in gear...... Fixed Gear that is. Espressoparts staff has been designing new motifs for our tamper bases and we have come up with some great stuff. Our fixed gear cog is just one of the cool designs that have been added in recent weeks, so make your way on over to the website and check out some of our new Original designs.

Custom Tamp Base Graphics and More...

Well we've gone and pushed the envelope way too far this time. We implemented two stock graphic treatments for tamper bases. These will only be applied to 57 and 58mm tamps so far as anything smaller will take a little adjustment to the artwork on my part.

So far we have flames...

And since fixed gear bicycles are a thing among a few of our co-workers a Fixed Gear Bicycle Cog graphic.

The graphic treatments for tamper bases (pistons) are available on all the Espresso Parts tamp bases as an option you can add on each product. As I stated above 57mm and 58mm only for the time being...



Oly Coffee Portafilter Handle
I'm also working on getting these awesome inlayed wood portafilter handles priced and up on our site. We should have a few stock designs and will be doing custom work when all is said and done.

Espresso Parts is Portland Bound!


"Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'
Ah we gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I'm eastbound, just watch old Bandit run"

So TerryZ and Dave "Doc" Ringwood and myself all get to head down to Portland for a series of PID retrofits on some La Marzoccos. There was 2 installs to do, then came 3, and now I hear there are 5 PID installs. Yikes!

So our little day trip today has the feeling of Smokey and the Bandit.
Well maybe not... We are headed South not East. As far as I know no one has ever said you can't do 5 PID installs in 1 day, and well we have a only short way to go. So maybe the analogy isn't a good fit.

We however are going to some of my favorite coffee spots in what has become my favorite coffee town. However with Duane's coffee back in Seattle, Seatown may have an edge with it's variety of coffees. Fresh Pots 1 & 2, and the others I assume are Stumptown machines. I am assuming though.

Anyway if you feel like following along I'll should be posting 'pon my Flickr account today. THe later evening should see some great food as usual in Portland and then it is Horse Brass time! Always great folks in Portland too.

In the mean time if you are bored TerryZ sent this link the other morning it is pretty hilarious. We can't be responsible for any content you may read on our website as it is Gizoogle
Tranzliatin' our content. It is funny as hell though.
