Motta 9Bar Black Wood Tamper

I was looking to try a new tamper and one that was 58 vs 58.5mm but I bought a spendy, sexy one last time and I prefer looking at it vs using it. I use a 58 at work all day long which I really like but I want something different. I was creeping Motta products which always impress and this 9Bar showed up and said it was designed by baristas which seemed a big plus as people mainly concerned with function.
I liked the idea of a wood handle for the feel and my last all stainless tamper actually has a plastic handle. This one didn't have a wood handle either; it is machined aluminum, which I got over in about 2 seconds because the weight and balance it adds to the product is very nice. So a nice surprise.
I like the high square sides and the handle fits perfectly and is ergonomically very comfortable. It is much easier to get a level tamp compared to my other one which makes this a winner in my mind.
This is a tamper I would use at work with out hesitation...all day.
I would recommend it to a friend
