Tamper shopping

Another option is to buy a bathroom scale and test your tamp pressure and monitor your personal weight at the same time.

When first learning I used this method to help with proper tamping pressures.

I think you can't go wrong with one of these.....they sell just about anywhere for $3.00 or less! Nothing fancy but it get's the job done!

Czech Pipe Tool

This pipe tool is a classic. It's been made in several variations for decaded. The three swiveling tools included the following: a spoon for cleaning out dottle and ash, a pick for correcting bad bowl packs and of course a tamper. Get one for the car, the glove box or your key-chain. Never be without a tamper again!

I have one of those, great for a pipe, but not so hot for the espresso group head.
