Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow--espresso lover, blogger, author, jack-of-all-geeky-cool--just slapped down some major dough for a Reg Barber custom espresso tamper and, wouldn't you know, he loves it.
Reg Barber makes handmade custom coffee tampers, offering a wide selection of handles and bases--sold separately--so if you're an espresso accessory junkie, you may want to make this your next purchase. That is, if you're willing to spend a minimum of $76.00 CDN (roughly $78.00 USD at the time of this post), not including shipping. Oh, and by the way, they have no US distributors, so it'll ship from Canada.
This pretty little thing on the left, for instance, with the Chinese fire element character engraving, is $37.18 CDN (about $38.00 USD) for the handle alone. Wanna add a base? I would hope so, since ya can't do much with only a handle. How about a copper one? Sure. Just ante up $48.75 CDN (almost $50.00 USD). Need a specially sized base for your portafilter? Okay, tack on $20.00 CDN ($20.60 USD) for that.
Phew! So, where are we at? Hmm... Carry the one... That'll be $105.93 CDN / $108.75 USD, please, plus shipping.
That's a bit too steep for me, but for those of you who can't resist the lure of fully customized, pimped out coffee accessories, Cory knows that one of these will make you very, very happy.
