Hello HB

Im looking for a tamper that will fit my new IMS basket for my Dalla Corte Super Mini.
Is there anyone that make tampers for 54mm
Reg Barber makes bases on targets would that be the way to go...?
I would really like a perg tamp with that edged base. but where do i buy it..?

Dalla Corte & la san marco filter baskets size varies from ~54.3mm for the 12g to ~55.1-2mm for the 21+g .
Ims filter basket also takes a 54mm tamper, and ims has 54.4mm tampers .
With a 54mm tamper you would be alright but if you want better fit a 54.4-5mm tamper is recommended. You have many options:
-Concept-art (joe frex) makes 54mm and 54.5mm
-Cafelat has 54mm and can (custom) make any size you want
-cafe kultur torr has 54mm and i think they could make you custom size
-Tidaka has 54.4mm
-Ims has 54.4 but i dont know where you could buy it
-Coffeecomplements.com (precision tamper maker at ebay) can make any size you want
-Regbarber of course any size you want
-Pullman makes the vst tamper and also the pergtamp(58.5mm) , you could ask if they could make you a 54.xmm 'pergtamp'
