Fresh Cup Article: Sept. 2009 “Nine Bars”

The Sept. 2009 issue of “Nine Bars” in Fresh Cup Magazine was written by yours truly.

It is an exposition of the often used yet rarely analyzed espresso coffee tamper.  I discuss the different parts, different options for each part, and talk a little about how different shapes impact the physics of espresso extraction.

There is so much more to say, but I already went over my word limit for the article.  I may get into more details of various tamper base designs for this blog at some point.  For now, enjoy the article.  If you do not have a subscription to Fresh Cup Magazine, you can read the article by clicking the link below.  You can also subscribe here.
