Hi.
Looking at the "How to make a beautiful"naked" triple espresso, article, I want to share with you, what I made for easy tamping.
I made wooden hollow cylinder with a cut on one side, so I can put the pf in it, but the lips are on the cylinder.
So, tamping is a piece of cake, especially in the single shots.
I would put some photos so as to see what exactly I mean, but if you want it, please, tell me how to do this.
Regards,
Theodore.
Espresso uber alles.

Assuming you have JPG photos, see posting images on HB.
