Wanna HB logo tamper...did I miss that bus?

From Wikipedia: Cocobolo is a tropical hardwood from Central America. Only the heartwood is used: this is typically orange or reddish-brown in color, often with a figuring of darker irregular traces weaving through the wood. No mention of it being a Rosewood. Another Wikipedia blurb from the Rosewoo...

Wanna HB logo tamper...did I miss that bus?

Sorry for the confusion but I don't recall telling you a 57mm wouldn't tamp properly. It certainly will. What I said is that if you are looking for a 57mm piston to reach the bottom of that basket, it won't on that particular basket. If you want to reach the bottom of the basket I can offer you a 54mm

Ecco Experimental Espresso Club #2

La Marzocco GS3: New Rules

Oh I didn't think you were accusing me of anything. It is a great time to start considering a great machine. If nothing else the GS/3 as many has said has raised to bar for both the home and commercial machine manufacturer. For me personally my money would be on the Dalla Corte or as you mentioned t...

La Marzocco GS3: New Rules

No one is trying to be a buzz kill or anything. I know he didn't say buy the Dalla Corte over the Vivaldi... He said it would be stupid to not look it over first. I don't think I'll be the only one to agree with him that they are worth a good look. For those who may have been

La Marzocco GS3: New Rules

I haven't seen the Dalla Corte Super Mini in person yet but TerryZ came back from Milan singing mass praises which doesn't happen for just any ole espresso machine. I hear we are taking delivery of a demo or two in the near future and as someone who woul...

Personalized LMWDP tampers

I emailed your Finnish brethren and told him to email Brian if he is having problems. I don't normally hear of international orders being an issue and I see them come in all day so I can't say what the issue is for sure. I'm snappin pics of round #1 in just a minute. Round two will wait until
