Click Here (store.vstapps.com) and they specify at the bottom of that page 40.7-40.9 tamper Now i looked and looked and all i could find was Reg Barber from canada, who is selling the tamper for 73++  and shipping is at least $20 to the USA. Does anyone know any online store that would sell such a size, for cheaper.

Anyways i have a La cimbali m23, and i have cut and made one of the portafilters that came with it bottomless. so i believe it should work. Here is what VST wrote on the website i linked above: "22-g & 7-g fits all La Marzocco and Synesso and most Nuova Simonelli models using their standard portafilters. Faema, La Cimbali, Rancilio require a bottomless portafilter." well if i am missing something please let me know. My main problem now, is that it seems most tamper companies dont make a 40.7 mm tamper. and i am about to go the custom way of doing this. i will wait couple of days to see if anyone on this forum knows first. back to top frank828 Senior Member Joined: 23 Feb 2011 Posts: 569 Location: Los Angeles Expertise: I live coffee Espresso: Oscar, ViaVen, ZPM Grinder: SJ, Kenia, Virtuoso w/prec....

The smallest size i see is a 49mm . i dont see a 40.7 or 40.9 mm. I even send them an email 4 days ago and still haven't received a reply if they can make a custom 40.7 tamper. is it hidding somewhere? back to top dyqik Senior Member Joined: 7 Oct 2011 Posts: 351 Location: Cambridge, MA Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Bezzera BZ07 PM Grinder: Baratza Virtuoso Preciso...

Thank you all soooooo much. and i do apologize for this question afterall since it was always right in front of my eyes. back to top view previous topic | view next topic | view all topics Discussions > Espresso > Q and A > 40.7 mm tamper...   updated topics   new posts   new unanswered     search   faq   sign up   Not Logged in: log in Discussions Quick Jump: Select Espresso Discussions --Espresso Machines --Lever Espresso Machines --Grinders - Espresso --Espresso Mods and Restorations --Espresso Blends --Questions and Answers --Latte Art and Etching --Barista Jams Around the World --General Discussion Coffee Discussions --Machines and Brewing Methods --Home Roasting Talk --Questions and Answers --General Discussion Columns, How-Tos, and Reviews --Holiday Gift List Feedback --CoffeeGeek Columnist Feedback --Detailed Review Feedback --Products First Look Feedback --Quickshot Review Feedback --Guide Article Feedback --How-To Article Feedback --CoffeeGeek Podcast Feedback Members Forum --Bug Reports and Suggestions --Buy, Sell and Trade --Retail Coffee Jobs Offered / Wanted Ads --Coffee Recipes --Cafe and Bean Reviews --CoffeeGeek Site Info and News --General Off Topics World Regional --United States West --United States Central --United States East --Western Canada --Eastern Canada --United Kingdom --Western Europe --Eastern Europe, Nordic Countries, and Russia --Central and South America --Australia, New Zealand and Asia Symbols: = New Posts since your last visit      = No New Posts since last visit     = Newest post Forum Rules: No profanity, illegal acts or personal attacks will be tolerated in these discussion boards.
