yes! the wider one is the one i love at octane. they feel great.<br />
a few people say they like lighter tamps....I have to say the heavier the better for me. If there was a lead tamp I would probably buy it. But just my opinion.<br />

The theory, as I understand it, is controlling your water flow by giving it very specific paths to take. This would give you a more even soaking of the bed of coffee. Folks to a similar thing on a larger scale with soil.<br/>

For some reason the editing on this isn't working to well. I wanted to say a little more about my Xpressivo. The reason i prefer this tamper is for a number of reasons. First, it is sleek and sexy as hell. It has a very light weight which gives you an awesome feel between you and the espresso itself. The convex on this is very slight, which i love, and it has a line that goes around the base of the tamper. This allows you to be a bit more precise as to how much your dosing and so your able to…

The convex on this is very slight, which i love, and it has a line that goes around the base of the tamper. This allows you to be a bit more precise as to how much your dosing and so your able to eyeball how far the tamper will go in to accordingly to every dose. This line also help for you to see how even your tamp really is.<br />
