For the Barista who has everything... The folks at Espresso Parts will certainly have something unique and different to bring a sparkle to their eye.

Once upon a time; yours truly worked and lived as a Barista. It was one of the more enjoyable jobs that I have ever held. I adore coffee! I am such a coffee snob that a new roast can almost have orgasmic qualities to it for me; especially if it is of African origin.

I am fortunate enough to have a "decent" espresso machine and burr grinder to adorn my kitchen; I have a huge metal fetish so all of the appliances that are possible to own in stainless are in my kitchen. I have been frustratingly using the back of a spoon to tamp my grinds into my filter to get that perfect espresso pour... Then I found this:

So if any of you have an alternative/gothic barista in your life; please get them one of these!

They are available in convex or flat in several different sizes and even different grades of polish. This work of art would look beautiful perched on the counter top of any barista's kitchen or place of work. You can now express your personality in your tamper!

Everyone was excited to taste the lattes that were made with this beauty assisting the pour... Much easier to work with the portafilter! The weight for the tamper is perfect - the crema was a sight to see.

So whether a competing professional barista or just an at home coffee connoisseur Espresso Parts should be in your bookmarks list!
