RSVP International (TAM) Dual Sided Coffee Espresso Tamper, Steel, Aluminum Alloy

Do not buy this. Over priced, flimsy build, rubber perished within six months, ends fell off the knock bar, case cracked.

迅速に対応してくださいました。 まだ使用していませんが問題なく使えそうです。 美味しいコーヒーを飲ませていただきます。

Al tener dos medidas, sirve para qualquier cafetera expresso. Un poco pesado, ya que no es de metal no de plástico,. No le doy 5 estrellas por su acabado cromado, ya que hay que limpiarlo con un trapo con agua caliente y mucho cuidado sino se desprende el cromado. Ni se os scurra ponerlo en el lavavajillas sino quereis destozarlo.

Bien conçu et efficace

This item was an absolutely perfect match for the "De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker" which I purchased at the same time. To make a PERFECT cappuccino also consider getting the above espresso maker, the "Stainless Steel 10oz. Steaming & Frothing Pitcher" and the "Bodum Pavina 2-1/2-Ounce Double-Wall Espresso/Shot Thermo Glasses, Set of 2". For around $100 this combo makes a cappuccino that is JUST as good as any coffee shop I've patronized! Be sure to get coffee especially fine-ground for espressos... don't just get an "espresso blend" for drip coffee makers! You can get "Cafe Bustelo" brand here on Amazon (look at its great reviews) or just about any big discount store and it makes a perfect crema and is delicious. Look for a yellow can. When filling the above espresso maker with coffee, use the included scoop, filled and then leveled. DON'T fill the scoop past the top at all! Dump the coffee in the center of the ONE CUP filter and tamp with the "RSVP Terry's Tamper" by just setting it down on the coffee, allowing the weight of the tamper to smooth and level the coffee into the filter. DON'T push or apply any extra pressure! Simply turn the tamper a few times to level the coffee, then lift it away carefully. If your crema is too dark and bitter, you probably pressed or tamped too much. If there is little crema or it is too light, you probably didn't tamp or smooth it enough. Set aside an 11-12 oz coffee cup and pull an espresso that just fills the 2.5 oz Bodum Pavina glass (the crema should drag across the bottom of the spouts on the espresso maker. Set the glass of espresso aside and fill the frothing pitcher with COLD milk. We successfully use plain almond milk or 2% cow milk. >>Be sure to only fill to just under the indentation in the middle of the pitcher.<< Use the steamer wand to froth the milk following the instructions that come with the EC155. The milk *should* froth up to just nearly overflowing, making just the right amount of froth. If you use coffee flavorings (like Torani Brand syrups) put them in the coffee cup first (2-3 teaspoons is what we like)... then pour on the froth... then pour your coffee on top. (Be careful... the wide and thick Bodum Pavina cup is a little hard to pour from without espresso dribbling down the side.) Give a very slight stir with a spoon and serve. If you like a very hot cappuccino just microwave for 20-30 seconds and then serve. Anyway, this tamper seems to be of nice quality. I have had no problem with flaking as others have reported. If used carefully and cleaned with each use, I think it should work for a really long time! As stated this is a PERFECT match for the Espresso/Cappuccino-making combo that we put together after much research. Enjoy!
