Engraving guide

Engraving

We use an industrial CO2 laser to engrave our handles and bases with your custom designs. Most handles can be engraved on the top and along the side. We can even engrave bases!

When you select this option, we'll reach out to discuss your design ideas and how to achieve them. Please note: $25 covers file preparation and one engraving per location.

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.

Base Shapes

Each profile introduces a different dimension to your tamping.

Flat

The reference. Our global best seller for decades and trusted companion to world champion baristas. The perfect place to begin your journey with Reg Barber.

C-Flat

Features a slightly curved perimeter to push coffee grounds to the side of the portafilter basket, promoting a more complete seal to reduce channeling.

Curve - US

Features a slightly curved face, simultaneously pushing grinds to the side to reduce channeling while increasing puck surface area.

Curve - Euro

A more aggressive curve than our US model. Promotes a better seal between coffee grinds and portafilter basket while further increasing puck surface area.

Ripple

Another Reg Barber innovation, the Ripple works to increase puck surface area without creating significantly different puck depths. Designed to improve extraction and combat channeling.

C-Ripple

Pushes grinds to the side of the basket to minimize channeling while increasing puck surface area without creating different puck depths.
