Joy from a small thing
Review by Shakes the Clown -
Quality Value Price Holding this perfectly balanced tool in my hand every morning never fails to bring a smile to my face. After years of using a cheap plastic tamper, I can say that a well designed tamper of the right size makes a big difference in shot quality. The Reg Barber is all that, plus being jewelry for the espresso junkie (and, hence, priced like jewelry!).
Pros:
Quiet, Heirloom quality, Perfectly balanced, Easy To Use, Easy To Clean, Commercial Grade
Cons:
Expensive(Posted on 4/11/12)

Beautiful to look at, a joy to use.
Review by Steve -
Quality Value Price I bought this tamper in the short ball/c-flat combination to replace a well loved, daily use Reg Barber tamper. The c-flat base is amazing. I can see why this is the shape specifically recommended on the RB website. The wide flat center creates a great contact area, but the slightly curved sides seat the puck well if you happen to be just a tiny bit off-center in your tamping pressure. I think this style will work for shops with baristas of varying skill and experience levels, as it's not a full curve, "training wheels" type of tamp, but it's slightly more forgiving and less intimidating to newer staff than a totally flat tamper.
Obviously, the finish on the handle is perfect.
