I will second the Cafelat for really good hand fit and feel, very snug fit it the basket, and an overal attractive look. another cosideration (or i guess its part of a good feel is the weight balance between the handle and the piston. a light weight handle is uncomfortable with a stainless steel piston as it moves the center of gravity outside of your hand. A good balance puts the center of gravity in you finger tips and make it a joy to use.

I'm a big fan of the <a href="http://www.visionsespresso.com/node/610" target="_blank">Cafelat tamper</a>, the wood drop has been my daily driver for the last couple of months and its what I recommend for my local customers. The handle is much smaller than average, but it works well.

Agree on the 58mm. The cheapest decent tampers that I've found have been Rattleware...durable, decent feel, and they just don't give up.

we use synesso 18g baskets in our gb5, and i bought a 57mm tamper - it was too small. try a 58mm, you should be ok. or have one machined to fit perfectly at your local machine shop!
