A must-have for any bike shop with a coffee vibe or coffee shop with a bike vibe, the Chris King Tamper ($150) has been a cult classic since its initial launch in 2010. Now, fifteen years later, the brand has modified the iconic design of the tamper with a shorter handle version. This new tamper’s handle is 15 mm shorter than the standard tamper…
The design of the Chris King Espresso Tamper mirrors the shape of King’s legendary NoThreadSet headset, adding a touch of distinction to any espresso setup. The new Tamper is 70 mm tall, with a 58 mm base diameter and a base depth of 10mm. It weighs 420g. For baristas still using a traditional tamper, this shorter design makes it easier to use your fingers as a gauge for the appropriate pressure. They retail for $150, available exclusively through the King website.
Like all Chris King Tamper releases, these will go fast, so roll on over to Chris King to see more.
