After spending many hours on many forums searching for opinions about the best of all tampers, I decided to go for a Pullman Barista tamper: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Green ... 0501141701
I have had people tell me that their plastic tamper does just a good a job as any. Hard to believe and I am new to espresso! I was going to order a Torr from a dealer in CT and when I emailed them about the shipping charges they never responded!
Besides Greg Pullman's rep for machining a quality product there were several other factors that made me choose. The most important was fitting the tamper to your basket or purchasing a Synesso double basket from him and he custom fits both. Actually cheaper than sending mine to him in Southern Australia. His communication was excellent from start to finish. Answers were about 1/2 hour after sending questions to him. The package took 7 days to arrive to me in MA!
The quality, the balance and the grip was worth the extra in shipping costs!
Just thought I would throw it out there.
