Will This New Tamper Change the World?
Will This New Tamper Change the World? by Michael
As any barista trainer will tell you, one of the most difficult barista skills to master is tamping. Sure, it looks easy enough. You just take the tamper and press down. But even the slightest inconsistency in your tamp will have an adverse effect on your shot. But new tamper from German manufacturers Mahlgut aims to change that.
The Mahlgut Tamper Palm has two interesting design features that seek to solve the problem of inconsistent tamping. The first is an exterior rim that uses the rim of the portafilter as a guide to ensure the tamp is perfectly level. The second design feature is an adjustable base which gives the barista control over the density of the tamp.
Mahlgut has graciously asked us to review their new tamper, and we're excited to report back in a few weeks whether the Mahlgut Tamper Palm lives up to the hype.

CoffeeCon in Los Angeles Saturday
This coming Saturday, January 30, CoffeeCon, the consumer coffee festival/event, arrives in Los Angeles at The Magic Box@The Reef, 1933 South Broadway. CoffeeCon is a genuine consumer-facing event that combines a casual, intimate feel with coffee-obsessive rigor. Most of the LA area’s leading roasters will be represented with tables or booths. There are hands-on classes in brewing on a range of popular devices, expert panels, tastings, and more, which you can find described at www.coffee-con.com.
Also look at www.rebelmouse.com/coffeecon/. The Jay Ruskey presentation on California-grown coffee is worth the ticket in itself. CoffeeCon is run by my friends long-time coffee writer and blogger Kevin Sinnott and his wife Pat. And if you go, yes, you get a free Coffee Review subscription.
I usually make CoffeeCon events, though I will miss this one. Coffee Review readers loose in Los Angeles on Saturday should not.

Find Something You Can Eat at Fox in the Snow Cafe in Columbus
Find Something You Can Eat at Fox in the Snow Cafe in Columbus by Michael
There's a quiet revolution happening in American coffee shops. Once a bastion of subpar pastries and cellophane wrapped snacks, a new wave of cafés are giving food the same care and attention as their coffee. It's hard to find a better example of coffee shop with a next level baked goods than Columbus, Ohio's Fox in the Snow Café.
The first thing you'll notice at Fox in the Snow, other than the Belle and Sebastian allusion, is the bakery. In the same way many coffee companies display their roasters, Fox in the Snow's kitchen is in full view. Its simple but refined menu features American classics such as pecan sticky buns and buttermilk biscuits and more continental fair, such as the hand pies and egg tart. My wife opted for the souffléd egg sandwich, which she described as "well constructed" and "perfect." It's been some months since we visited and she still talks about it.
For coffee, we both ordered cappuccinos, which were made with espresso from Portland, Maine's Tandem Coffee and Ohio's own Snowville Creamery Milk. The latte art and milk texture was not exactly the best we've seem, but the espresso and milk paired beautifully and we enjoyed each sip. Had we had a little more time I would have ordered a filter coffee, which Fox in the Snow brews by the cup with Hario V60s.
Although there was no shortage of the laptop crowd, we felt Fox in the Snow Cafe was more conducive for a lunch date with a friend than a remote working station. Big garage door windows and the stark white walls make for an elegant, upscale atmosphere. Either way, Columbians are lucky they don't have to chose between good coffee and baked goods. We can only hope more cities follow suite.
