Chris King Releases Fresh Batch of Espresso Tampers
Chris King Precision Components has a rich history of celebrating the union between bicycles and coffee. This is showcased in passion projects like the highly sought-after King espresso drinkware sets and the revered King espresso tamper. The tamper, known for its comfort, balance, and weight, has gained a reputation among professional baristas.
King proudly announces a fresh batch of tampers, available now at ChrisKing.com while supplies last.
From behind the espresso machine at King HQ, King’s Chief Caffeine Officer Jay Sycip said, “It’s hard to put your finger on quite why riding bikes and drinking coffee are so closely related, but we have always loved both here at Chris King. Some of us might like drinking coffee even more than we like riding. One shot or two?”
With the bike industry adapting to a post-pandemic world, and a slight lull, the team at King is gearing up for the MADE trade show in Portland next month and exploring their passion projects that reach beyond the component manufacturing world.
Sycip continued, “We had a run of un-anodized handles from the last time we offered tampers, and since we had a little capacity in production, we decided to make bases to match them. It’s a busy summer here, and that requires keeping the team well-caffeinated.”
Chris King Espresso Tampers are available in all colors, though supplies are limited, and as with everything that Chris King makes, they will sell fast, and last a lifetime.
