Overview
The Freehand Tiger Paw Smooth Briar Espresso Tamper is special even among the Cavendish Series. The block for this tamper was cut from the edge of the Briar burl so one side retained the original bark texture. The asymmetric shape developed as I kept that natural rough surface, which is reminiscent of pipes carved in the freehand tradition. This shape was formed with a series of panels that transition to a round neck at the base. The light color, striped markings and fistlike shape reminded me of a tiger paw and together with the freehand style, helped name the tamper. The Tiger Paw has a great deal of variety in the grain; I love the parallel and flame grain on the sides. The odd shape fits very well into the hand and the slightly angled head offers a comfortable place for the fingers to rest giving you a great grip on the tool. These attributes make it a useful instrument as well as a fascinating ornament in the shop.

The Baratza Vario looks much like Baratza's other offerings (i.e., the Encore, Virtuoso, and Preciso) in regard to silhouette, footprint, and general design. Those who've used them extensively, however, know that there's far more than mere nomenclature that separates the Vario from its brethren. Practically speaking, it has shown to give a consistently uniform and desirable grind for the full grind spectrum, all the way from espresso to press pot, something no other non-commercial grinder currently out on the market can boast. It is a highly efficient machine, wasting very little in the way of coffee grounds, but it shines in its ability to produce excellent espresso, shot after shot after shot, a feature aided by the three timed dosing presets it allows the user to store and recall at the push of a button.

We've looked long and hard for a scale that we can recommend for our avid manual brewing friends. The scale needed to have a high weight capacity, fast response time and precision calculations, and the ability to disable the auto-off feature to ensure the scale would not shut off mid-brew. The Jennings CJ4000 is the first scale we have offered that meets all of these requirements. With a 4000 gram capacity, accuracy to .5 gram, and the ability to disable the auto-off feature, the Jennings scale is the perfect companion to manual brewing.
