    Overview

    Watch Video on Making Tampers

    Inspired by the apple pipe shape, the Ladon Apple Partially Rusticated Briar Espresso Tamper is simply epic. The mighty movement of pattern and the scar-like rustication reminded us of some awesome and mysterious scarred dragon. So I named this tamper after Ladon, the dragon of Greek myth who protected the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides and was slain by Heracles.


    The grain pattern of the Ladon Apple stands out because of the great deal of flame and vertical grain that rises out of exceptional random grain on one side. Rustication winds its way from the top of the neck along the side of the head forming a scar-like shape. When you are able to take your eyes off of this captivating tool and actually use it, you will find it to be as epic to the hand as it is to the eye. With a narrow, almost straight neck and a gently rounded head, this espresso tamper is a thrill to hold. I have no doubt that this work of majesty will help make espresso worthy of its own legend.

    • Prima Coffee tamper espresso tampers
      ATB-SS*
      $48.62
      Tampers are as diverse as the baristas who use them. Our new tamper meets the needs of almost any barista, whether professionally trained or newly beginning. With its durable aluminum handle and wide, smooth top, the tamper is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably into the palm unlike other overly rounded handles which can press a little too tightly into the hand of the barista, or flat topped handles which can become uncomfortable after extended use.

      The base of the Prima tamper is of a hefty 304 stainless steel design. This solid steel base combined with the light, detachable aluminum handle adds balanced weight to the tamper which helps aid the barista in providing an even tamp, shot after shot.
    • Hario Mini Mill MSS-1B Coffee Grinder
      MSS-1B
      $31.95

      Hario Skerton grinder is handy for manual home and travel grinding, it can also be slightly more cumbersome for an extended road trip where only a small amount of grinding will be done (for a more detailed comparison of the two grinders, check out this blog post: Hario Skerton vs. Mini Mill). For those trips (or homes) where a minimal amount of grinding is needed, the Hario Mini Mill Slim is the perfect grinding solution. The Mini Mill employs adjustable conical ceramic burrs for grinding any of the wide range of grinds employed in today’s coffee market. It can effortlessly handle 24 grams of anything from fine espresso to a coarse French Press setting. Because of its lightweight (0.5 lbs) and sleek plastic body, the Mini Mill easily fits into small carrying bags and suitcases without adding a lot of extra weight. This, in conjunction with the Aerobie AeroPress coffee maker, has the propensity to make excellent coffee anywhere hot water and fresh beans are available.

      The Hario Mini Mill is a traveling coffee enthusiast’s dream come true.... and with its ability to grind to the fine quality needed for espresso, it can be paired with a hand-held travel espresso maker such as the mypressi TWIST (and an excellent choice of beans) to achieve a quality rivaling the product found in many high-end espresso machines. Whether the need is grinding beans for a french press, Aeropress, or mypressi, the Mini Mill Slim is the perfect travel solution.
