Krups 027-70 Replacement Espresso Carafe, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have a model 963 in white. The replacement carafe isn't *quite* the same--the handle is slightly different and it's a bit larger, so that the original lid doesn't snap in firmly. Make sure you keep your lid, as this one does NOT come with the lid! All in all, a good replacement. I am pleased.

Frothing Thermometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just recently purchased the Thermometer and the clip does not hold the theremometer in place. Paid $6.50 for item and $6.34 for shipping and was very displeased/upset with quality of the item. I thought the clip would hold the thermometer in the upright position so you could move the frothing cup in circular motion. Thermometer falls over due to clip not tight enough on thermometer shaft.

Dreamfarm Charcoal Black Grindenstein Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's just what we needed. After a major bill to a plumber who told us that coffee grounds collect like sand and clog pipes, we decided that $30 for a knock box was money well invested.
As many have said, the box is too small for commercial use but it's perfect for home and it even fits under the pour spout on the espresso machine for storage. The rubber feet and squat design hold it steady on the counter. The bar is wide, sturdy and rubber coated so it's not likely to dent your filter unit. And the low cut front edge insures that you don't accidentally hit the handle or your finger on the edge.
I think $30 is too high of a mark-up, but nothing cheaper looked nearly as functional. If ours was stolen by a coffe loving burglar (I don't expect it will break) I would buy another immediately.

Clear Espresso Hand Tamper/ Coffee Tamp - 58mm - Acrylic & Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I owned the red-colored convex variation of this tamper.
I was initially happy with this tamper, but after a little bit over 3 months of use it broke apart as I was tampering coffee. An e-mail exchange with the retailer revealed that this is a know issue with this model of the tamper -- the tamper breaks if dropped. I have to agree that I probably dropped the tamper a couple of times during the time I used it because it rolls away so easily...
My expectation for any kitchen gadget/tool is that it should be sturdy enough not to break apart even if it felt from the counter. There are plenty of kitchen tools made of plastic that don't break so easily.
If you are not prepared to baby your espresso tamper, then do yourself a favor and get a more robust product.

Dreamfarm Steel Wool Silver Grindenstein Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An excellent product. Sturdy design, easy to clean, and fits perfectly under my espresso maker's group head.
My only complaints are THE PRICE. Seriously, $30+ for a plastic cup?
Also the noise. Dreamfarm's website reads, "Thick and durable rubber sleeve protects the group handle, absorbs the striking force and makes it quiet to use."
I have to laugh at this. Knocking grounds out of my group head sounds like I'm hammering a grand piano with a 5 pound sledge. My neighbor even asked what all the banging was in the morning.
Sorry Dreamfarm. The Grindenstein's patented shape AMPLIFIES sound. Try it out yourselves sometime.
By far the best option on the market though. Go ahead and get one.

Dreamfarm Fire Truck Red Grindenstein Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good knock box if there is only one person in the house drinking espresso. Perfect for someone like myself who only has a double shot every morning. It holds about 8 double shot "pucks" comfortably. The color in this picture is accurate. The red definately stands out on the counter!

Red 49mm Espresso Tamper Stainless Steel Coffee Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a DeLonghi EC155 and the inside diameter of the portafilter basket is 51mm. Many larger machines have 53 or 58mm baskets so these larger tampers won't work with the EC155. I couldn't find any 50 or 51mm sizes, so I ordered this 49mm size. It works perfectly, no problems whatsoever. Much more convenient than using the attached plastic tamper on the machine. The problem with that is that you must push the basket UP to compress the coffee while holding your other hand on top of the machine to hold it down. Much, much easier to just push down with this tamper. Also, this is a substantial tool, made of 18/8 Stainless Steel and weighs in at almost a half-pound (7.5 oz or 212 g). Unlike aluminum alloys, this will not discolor in the dishwasher.

RSVP Modern Espresso Knockout Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You might think "flimsy and undersized" when you see this, but it's actually a very practical knockout box for an ordinary home kitchen. The heavy rubber base is a critical piece that you'd probably overlook in picking up a larger industrial knockout box, and it really is a great sound-deadening part of it. But here's the rub: that rubber sheath around the metal bar begins to come apart after six months or so, and not only ceases to keep you from banging directly on the metal bar, but decomposes into a mass of grimey rubber that partly coats the bar and partly just falls into the box. So whatya do? Take the bar down to your local hardware store and ask for a short length of rubber house to cover it. They'll help you get the right diameter. I bought 3" of handsome blue airhose (heavy rubber under blue rubber with nylon mesh to strengthen it) for $0.35 and it's been a dream.

Vaneli's Solid Stainless Steel Tamper 53mm--2.09 inches (2 1/8") Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tamper fits my Starbucks Barista's 53mm portofilter perfectly. Pretty much like it was machined specifically for my portofilter/basket. This tamper is heavier than my friend's Reg Barber (shockingly heavy actually), and in my opinion has nicer workmanship. For the price this HAS to be the best tamper on the market.

Vaneli's Aluminum Tamper 58mm --2.28 Inches (2 5/16") Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're a home barrista and you want to tamp your coffee this tamper works well. It's not too heavy and fits nicely in your hand, giving the tamped espresso that final spinning polish is not a problem either. It's not milled out of one piece of aluminum, I had to tighten the two pieces after about two weeks (from the spinning?). Make sure you get the right size. If your tamper is too small it's hard to exert the right amount of pressure without the grounds pushing their way up and making a mess. This is a good tamper for the price, no nonesense, no frills but does what it's supposed to.

RSVP Espresso Knockout Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nothing better than enjoying your own home roasted espresso in the morning, no?
This is the knockout box I am replacing. One reviewer didn't like the rubber hose. I don't mind that sort of thing. The size is fine. The quality is fine. The object is inexpensive and highly utilitarian.
The reason I am replacing this one, though, is that the nuts holding the bar come loose periodically, requiring you to tighten them. Forget to tighten them and one will inevitably pop off in the middle of a vigorous pounding, leaving the puck to disintegrate into flying grounds (happened twice). The manufacturer should add lock-nuts to the construction.
Also, the black base is painted fiberboard. Eh. Solid hardwood would be nice, but would cost more. Solid rubber might be better. So, I will get either this one RSVP Modern Espresso Knockout Box, or one from SweetMarias dot com, the site where I get all my coffee roasting gear.
Good sipping and good hunting.
