First post here so I thought I should say more than hello. Glad to have found HB a lot of great info on here already. I am still awaiting my new (to me) Cremina to be delivered, should be here Monday.

In the meantime I made myself a nice little tamper per the recommended 49.4mm size.

Sweet! That piece of aluminum you started with looks huge, but then again I've never turned anything, so I don't know what I'm talking about.

Thanks! It was a piece I had laying around and aluminum turns quick

I'll be starting a bit closer to finished size with the stainless piece.
