I noticed that rather than spend $10 on shipping, it seemed far more utilitarian to add a tamper for ~$20 and get free shipping on the order. I have done this at least twice.

How many extra tampers or other random accessories do you have strictly due to filler?

Ive done it...

Ive got two (extra) Faema 7gr singles which have never seen the inside of a portafilter, but they make great tamper stands.

And my tamping mat. While now, I love it and wouldnt be without it, i had no intention of buying it when I did.

Nothing wrong with having too much "stuff".

Same here but with all the items they sell its not hard to find something you need. I bumped up my last Chris Coffee order to hit the $50/free shipping limit & now have a 3-4 year supply of Cafiza sitting under the sink. :lol:
