SUMMARY:dirtyCup 2010 Tamper Review and Throwdown
DESCRIPTION:This event has been in the planning for a few months now, 
 and having received sponsorship from Mercanta Coffee, Reg Barber, Espr
 esso Parts, Espro, J. Farina, as well as several other boutique tamper
  makers, the most exciting of which is the custom brand of UK Latte Ar
 t Champion, John Gordon, Gorilla Tampers, of which we have the first i
 n the US! The event is being hosted by Safehouse Coffee and Tea and di
 rtyCup.com at 109 South Hill Street in Griffin, GA.\n\nWe have an illu
 strious field of coffee professionals coming down to participate which
  is exactly what is needed in the pursuit of finer equipment. In our s
 earches, all of the tamper reviews we have found have been along the l
 ines of “yes, this tamper is pretty,” and “oooh, shiny!” Well,
  shiny does not necessarily make my pucks drier or my shots tastier. T
 o remedy this, we will be approaching the tampers through several hard
  parameters so that when finished, each tamper will have a score that 
 represents its ability to help you produce a higher quality of espress
 o.\n\nWe will be taping the whole process and culminating with a round
  table discussion of the hows and whys of the scoring process. We’re
  not here to poo-poo anyone’s work, but we certainly want to give il
 lumination to why the best are the best. I even have a suspicion that 
 we will find a boutique tamper or two that are as good if not better t
 han the industry standards that we all know and love.\n\nAfterwards, o
 f course, there will be a latte art throwdown ($5 buy in) with the cas
 h going to the winner and prizes for the top three. It’s going to be
  a good time. As a roaster, I have set aside a few exceptional coffees
  to roast for the event and to have the diversion of some filter brew 
 tastings. Our doors are open to all during the event and there will be
  lots of free espressos and capps for those spectators smart enough to
  come hang out – you could have a capp made by an industry champion 
 – why would you miss that?\n\nThe Tamper Review and Throwdown Royale
  will be on Saturday, January 23rd at Safehouse Coffee and Tea, 109 So
 uth Hill Street, Griffin, GA, 30223. The tamper assessment will begin 
 at 6pm and the throwdown will follow after (remember the $5 buy-in!). 
 Jacob Orr and David Fountain are hosting an after party just one block
  down from the shop – crash if you need to.\n\nAnd oh yeah, Motivate
 d Mice Productions will be shooting the whole thing in HD, so put on y
 our swellest duds – see you there!\n\nFor more information visit htt
