I was in Transcend yesterday picking up my weekly supply of beans, and was admiring a couple RB tampers with the Transcend logo on them.  Then, while Andrew was preparing a couple of iced lattes for my daughter and I, he showed us a prototype tamper that Reg Barber gave him this past week while he was in Victoria.  The rippled base is supposed to eliminate channeling issues due to an increased surface area.  Hmmm… one of those bases with one of the Transcend logo handles would sure be nice in sitting in Coffee Nirvana – and eliminate channeling issues?  That would sure please the wife – no more coffee all over the place when I’m preparing my double triple shots each morning before work.

Surfing this morning, and it turns out that Reg Barber has 2 different ripple bases :

I’ll see if I can wait to see what Andrew’s impressions are with the new base (he has the ripple base) – hopefully he gets a chance to put it through the paces soon!
