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 next week when the first of the Reg's will leave and whomever else orders within the next 6.5 days.

This next tamp here is probably one of the nicest ever to leave our building. It was a pleasure to create.

Nice job Dave! And Milton (LMWDP #140) certainly has good taste in tampers.

Are you kidding me? Wow, what a great set of tampers! I just ordered a custom dark myrtlewood tamper from Les at Thor Tampers for my Cremina and am patiently waiting for it, and now you have to go and do this! Hmmm, come to think of it, #109 would look nice in black, me thinks! p.s. before I place my order, can I get a good estimation for size for the Olympia Cremina without being too big. Richard mentions sizes for specific baskets etc., so what is a good general size, 49.2 mm? Thanks.

#139, baby! (it's the one surrounded by the #140's! )

wow, wow--those are beautiful, all around! I can't wait.

It's fun, too, to see those different diameter bases, and wonder into which machine's portafilters they're being placed (ahem, Milt--time for a equipment update?)

Looks GREAT! I'll get mine ordered soon.

But first a question: For the Gaggia Factory 106 (51mm basket), virtually the LP Pro, should I order the convex or the flat tamper? I'm not sure which would be preferable.

I'm looking at the $69 version. Is all the material N.American sourced?

Thanks!

Any update on the tampers ordered?

I have. One #47 on its way to Sweden, or on its way to the engraving anyway. Sorry, nothing kool kustom like #140. I liked the sober/curve look of the black/silver one, I think it will be perfect together with the Bezzera.

I've got two coming, one for the Cremina and one for the La Pavoni.

I'll post pictures when they arrive.

Let's see some pictures of the tamps and the machines they go with.
