Not including the plastic throwaway tamper that came with your espresso machine, how many tampers do you own?

Sweet, first vote.
I threw that plastic thing away with the packaging my machine came in.
I own:
A Deluxe Lava Tamp(Red)-Convex
An Aluminum Anodized Reg Barber(also red)-Flat
The Clicker Tamp-Convex
Like them all. All provided by EPNW.

I'd like to get a wood Reg and an espresso craft tamp next, with the tamp base. I love crap like that.

Lets see. I know I have far too many.

1 RB
1 Stainless steel from Espresso Parts
1 Espro
1 one piece Aluminum with a Jar lid glued to the bottom to fit my Enrico of Italy Lever Machine at the office
1 Espressocraft Prototype

and a whole batch of tampers of my own design. :)

I've only got 2,

1) EP piston and custom wood handle. My favorite tamp so far and I've used my share. I predict the handle will soon change.

2) Swedish Presso tamp. For those interested I did like the Presso a lot but the piston is way too tall for my taste, other than that a great tamp too.
