if i'm getting the best, i'm going to spend an extra $25 CAD to get custom engraving.

i'm deciding between these handles:
hot pink powder-coated stainless steel
purple powder-coated stainless steel
zebra wood
wenge wood

i just sent this message:

Hi Julie,

Thanks for the quick response!

What are all of the different woods which you offer?

Maple
Bubinga
Wenge
Zebra

Are there any others?

Thanks much,
Lucas



for reference, here is the previous message:

Hi Lucas,

Thank you for your enquiry. I have answered in red below.

"In the most recent months we have launched our new website and are still finding a few kinks. You should be able to buy a complete purple tamper. I will look into this as soon as possible. In the mean time, you can order a purple tamper manually through me."

"We do not carry Tulipwood if you supply it we can make one for you. We will be able to make a zebrawood tamper with no delron and engrave directly onto the wood."

"Absolutely, at the time of ordering mention that you would like the RB logo on the side and a custom logo on the top. There will be a $25.00 CAD custom engraving fee."

Best regards,

Julia Barber

Hi Reg,

My name is Lucas, I live in Bozeman, MT, USA, and I'm a coffee enthusiast. I have a few questions for you.

(1) I see that you have a purple powder-coated handle, but purple is not listed as a complete tamper. Can I buy a complete purple tamper?

(2) Is it possible to get a Zebrawood or Tulipwood tamper without the delron? If so, can you possibly engrave right into the wood (as in this photo)?

(3) If I order a powder-coated tamper, can you put my personal logo on the top and put the RB logo on the side (as in this photo)?

Thanks much,
Lucas

... and let the Earth be silent after ye.
Huh ... they offer all tonewoods. That's kinda odd. Bubinga would feel best if they don't try and lacquer it or anything... IMHO, of course. A wenge handle seems scary to me, though ... that wood can cause sepsis!

i'm sitting in a coffee shop feeling all of their different tampers, and their bubinga reg barber feels a bit light and off-kilter.

i'm thinking about this combo:
base: 58.0 mm, stainless steel
handle: pink, powder-coated, stainless steel, high-ball design, "larz" top logo, "RB" side logo

Odd, bubinga is usually a pretty dense wood.

But that sounds like a good tamper anyway!

Hi,

Can you tell me how much this would cost total (including shipping to Butte, MT, USA 59701)?

Handle: pink, powder-coated, stainless steel, high-ball design, "larz" top logo, "RB" side logo
Base: 58.0 mm, stainless steel

Thanks,
Lucas




Hi Lucas,

Unfortunately we do not offer aluminum powdercoated handles in the tall ball shape. They are only offered in the tall shape. Also, this tamper is available online, you would get a more accurate shipping rate if you ordered it online.

Best regards,

Julia




One of the reasons I'm emailing is because when I attempt to order online, it tells me that we'll be in contact to determine shipping costs.

Can you make this configuration?

Handle: zebra wood, high-ball design, no delron, custom top logo, "RB" side logo.
Base: 58.0 mm, stainless steel.

Thanks,
Lucas

I like the purple and the wenge wood.

It's so cool they'll make you a handle if you send them a chunk of wood. :D

We don't offer high ball zebra. High ball is offered in Bubinga and Maple. Zebra is very expensive to keep in stock so we only offer it in one shape.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Julia





my priorities were:
(1) heavy weight (all stainless steel)
(2) high-ball design (only in maple and bubinga)
(3) zebra
(4) powder-coated pink

this came back in stock at a good price, so i ordered it.

I watched that handle-shaping video on silent with some slow beats in the background and it was amazingly beautiful.
