Like so many have said, consistent tamp is critical to great espresso, and the calibrated tamper is most arguably the most effective way to deliver such consistency. You really can't get it wrong, a simple tool that is worth its weight in gold in the pursuit of great espresso and coffee bliss....

The other reviews say it all. The key to great tasting espresso is consistency. This tamper provides that consistency. The tamper frees you up to play with your grind and water temperature so you can have consistently great shots. I was skeptical but went ahead and purchased it. The scientist...

mjackson ♦ Dean,
Your review says it all I always say approach it scientifically and you can be sure you are on the way to consistently good espresso.
I purchased both sizes. I am new to frothing milk. I don't know if it is the new Expobar Office Lever or these pitchers, but I am able to make micro foam with ease. I am still working on my designs, but it seems easier to create latte art than most people say. I don't think it's me, I think...

Just started using the 12oz pitcher and it's like driving a turbo charged V8! Steaming takes less time leaving perfect micro foam. Pays to read the instructions though. They suggest inserting the steam wand straight down into the milk and into the center of the pitcher. As soon as I made this adjustment everything worked great. Might have to add the 20oz size as I'm getting spoiled.

Out of all the steam pitchers I have used this is by far the best.

mjackson ♦ They don't make a lot of different products bit what they do make is the best.
SonnyCorinthos ♦ Espro does make some outstanding accessories...particularly the calibrated tamper which I use regularly. It makes tamping your espresso than much easier and delivers consistent pressure each time. Great tool.
Morgan uses the Espro French Press to make Ginger Coffee. This was inspired by one of our viewers, Dian Ika Rusita, from Indonesia who sent us the following recipe:
150 gram Palm Sugar
20 cm Fresh Gingers ( or 100 gram of Fresh Gingers)
2 Sticks of Cinnamons ( you can also use powder, put 1...

This thing is the bomb for beginners like myself. It helps give us a feeling for how much pressure is the correct pressure as well as allows anybody to fine tune their grind because it takes the human error out of it. It fits my 58mm portafilter excellently and i can definitely tell the...

A A Ian,
This tamper is a great training tool. We had one here when I first started (it's since disappeared and it's rather upsetting) and it was very helpful while Maryann and I learned how to use all the machines on our own.
Really want to try this Espro, just haven't convinced myself yet on the price. Can anyone share their experience with this tamper?

mjackson ♦ Ralph,
I love this tamper. I think of it as a tool for a science experiment. It makes sure you tamp the same way every time. It will help you in your consistency and will let you control one more factor. I have used them and wish we had them in the cafes I ran as it was amazing how differently everyone tamped. This really helps and I think you will love it.
