Ball

Only 2 left!

The Ball is a variation on the Palm — easy grip, satisfying heft, and a low centre of gravity that works across all tamper base sizes. A Reg experiment from the early years that's no longer in production.

From The Archive: Reg Barber no longer produces plywood handles. The remaining inventory is all new old stock. Each piece is unique; once sold out, the exact pattern is gone for good.

Made in Canada by Reg Barber since 1995.

Material guide

Base Materials

Each material has different properties, allowing you to customize your tamper to your individual needs and style.

Stainless Steel

Our best seller. 304 Stainless steel is food safe, highly corrosion resistant, and durable. The overwhelming choice of cafés, home baristas and champions.

Naval Brass

Naval brass is a marine-grade alloy containing primarily copper, zinc and tin. It's heavy and beautiful, but also very soft. It will tarnish and tell a story over time through its patina. Gorgeous.

Copper

Copper has been used in luxury professional cooking tools for centuries. It's heavy and beautiful, but also very soft. It will tarnish and tell a story over time through its patina. Which is actually the point.

Aluminum

Aluminum is a lightweight alternative to our other materials. That makes is popular in high-volume applications. It is, however, softer and susceptible to scratches and dings.
