Suction problems with heavy flat tampers. Flimsy base.Review by Mike

This station was a let down for me. First, all my tampers (I use all heavy 58mm flat) stick to the foam cushion on the round tamper rest, so when I grab my tamper, the round rest comes up with it. This is simply the result of suction from the foam used and flat surface of my tampers. When you have a portafilter in your other hand, this is very irritating, so I simply removed the tamper rest and rest my tamper directly on the round rubber cutout. A piece of double sided tape for the bottom of the tamper rest should help and Rocket should consider including this with future stations.
The last issue I have is that the rubber mat that all the pieces sit on is a bit flimsy, so when I lift the station up to move it, things tend to fall apart and I have to reposition things back in place. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.
I love Rocket (proud Evo Cellini V2 owner) and really wanted this station to be nice and worth the $85, but, in my opinion, it is not. For less than half the price you can get the simple Cafelat tamping stand, which SGC also carries. (Posted on 12/27/2013)

I wanted this for a while, but was out of stock. I ordered as soon as I saw it available again. Looks really nice next to my machine. Nice match! The tamper well has a tendancy to fill with grinds, but is easily removed so you can knock it in your matching knock-box! A tad spendy, but why skimp on adjuncts to a $1800 machine?
Pros:
Professional Looks, Well Constructed
Cons:
Tamp Well collects grinds, Spendy (Posted on 2/23/2012)

This station is a great addition to my Rocket Giotto Evo. It's so much easier to tamp coffee especially using single sprout portafilter. Now the portafilter sits straight and leveled and it makes tamping like a breeze! It has been a mixed up with first shipment and I received a wrong item but SeattleCoffeeGear customer service (thanks a lot do Debi) has done superb job and send me the right one! Thanks a lot guys! It's always pleasure to do business with SeattleCoffeeGear!!! All I wish now is Mazzer grinder for Rocket :)
Pros:
Easy To Use, Easy To Clean, Commercial Grade
Cons:
