Chris King, known for precision products, reintroduces espresso tampers with a 15mm shorter handle designed for baristas. Lead Designer Jay SyCip emphasizes that mastering espresso is akin to art, where proper technique is crucial. The new tamper enhances control by allowing baristas to better gauge its alignment with the porta-filter. The tampers, measuring 70mm in height and weighing 420g, are available in various colors for $150, merging fine cycling craftsmanship with coffee artistry.
We recognize that a technique used by many exceptional baristas is using their fingertips to gauge the levelness of the tamper piston against the outer edge of the porta-filter and longer handles can get in the way.
Pulling the perfect shot of espresso isn't easy. Some might even say it's an art form. Would the Mona Lisa be in the Louvre today if Leonardo DaVinci had used a chicken bone to paint it?
