Over about a week of filming, I have put together this video. It's rather long for a coffee video, but I tried to capture the serenity in making siphon brew. This is not a how-to video. More info in the "show more" tab in YouTube. Hope you guys enjoy. {video}(sorry for duplicate post on CG)

Which tamper for the 18g VST filter basket

I'm wondering, does this defeat the purpose of VST's advertisements? With so much attention to the hole size, nothing has been mentioned of the diameter size.
