After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Custom tamper project
Hi All,
I've got a buddy who has access to CNC machines, metal lathes and the like and have been thinking of creating a custom stainless steel tamper (or from other material -brass? copper?).
Yes, its just a tamper but I am getting a little bored and need to stimulate my mind.
The plan is to draw up the 3D CAD model, get it fabbed and give it a nice polish. Im thinking a one piece at this stage (so no separate base and handle).
It will be a 58mm but I will measure my baskets and get the fit right. Might do a few variations of the base - flat, convex, C-flat...
Based on your coffee making experiences, what, in terms of ergonomics or design, have worked, or not worked for you with a tamper?
