Review on RSVP Terrys Sided Espresso Tamper by Peter Montoya

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It s cheap. It works. It's almost good enough.

Well you get what you pay for. This tamper is just wobbly. The rammer surfaces are not flat at all and have quite large casting marks that can be felt by hand. I think the trail is pretty close to the circle. The chrome finish looks quite nice from a distance. It oscillates on a flat surface. But you know, it doesn't matter. His . Durable aluminum distributor. It works. And it's very, very cheap. Maybe that's what you're looking for. This is a really good product at a great price if you absolutely don't care about fit and finish. But since you're buying a pounder, let's just go out there and say it, maybe it's because you're a bit of a snob. Some say you enjoy the cream of the crop. Maybe you don't like the crappy plastic tamper that came with your espresso machine. In this case, you are also the type who will regret this purchase. Just a wild guess here. Spend a few bucks more for something done with more care.
