Normcore tamper may be funny looking, but it works really well. And I’ve definitely been over tamping my pucks lately, so I know to have a little bit of a lighter touch now. Maybe I’ve been getting frustration out on my coffee.

Highly recommended. It’s very well built and not super duper spendy.

I like to make my purchases in reverse order. I bought the VST, then the Flair 58, then this tamper. Next will be the grinder then...oh yeah the coffee.

I pulled a truly wonderful shot. Last of an Ethiopian Guji I got in NC in the fall (remember I freeze beans). I can’t complain about it at all, which is rare for me. Bright, complex, sweet, smoky. 1:2 (19.5 in) peak 6, slow pressure draw down.

I’m finally dialing in the Flair, I think.

The Deeper Roots and Levercraft were pretty similar to each other, but the St. Frank Bolivian was radically different, in direct comparison. Very fruity and funky. They were all excellent, but that one…

Fixed image to make it a little more family friendly

Rocking my original pour over today. It makes perfectly nice coffee, though I don’t recommend using the permanent filter in the basket only… at the beginning of the pandemic when I couldn’t get coffee filters I tried the permanent one. I used a paper towel the next day. :)

Paper towel, toilet paper...whatever it takes for proper caffeination.  

Powa' to the peeps!

If paper towels hadn’t worked okay my next try was going to be a thin handkerchief.

Blind shaker works as advertised. Fluffy, relatively well distributed grounds. I didn’t get it quite ready to immediately tamp, but it was also my first time. I also just like it. It reminds me of the Option-O Remi in design and build, and is just a pleasure to use.
