Subject: Reg Barber us curve, Euro curve and C-flat experiences with Silvia
|
I'm looking in trying the us curve or C-flat base for Reg barber, been
using the flat base, I'm thinking that the curve will illiminate the
screen srew indentation on the coffe grounds after each pull.
Anyone like these above tampers better

In my experience it seems to vary both with the dispersion screen
design and with the basket shape. On my Techno, a flat tamper will
result in the pour starting in a ring around the center of the basket,
whereas one of Vivace's Ergo-Packers, which has an edge 2 mm higher
than its center (i.e. is slightly convex), results in an even start to
the pour. As you say, all this is only visible with a chopped
portafilter.
Best,
David

I use the flat for my Silvia and curved for the Unic Diva. The Sylvia uses
a screen dispersion which I feel needs a flat surface to work best on. The
Unic uses a shower head dispersion which I've found the curved surface works
best on.
Now having said that, has anybody used a naked PF to see if there's a
difference when the tamped surface is flat vs curved?
