Café Kultur Espresso Tampers

Café Kultur in Germany handcrafts the TORR espresso tampers using only premium raw materials for an absolutely food-safe and eco-friendly product. Each tamper is handcrafted with attention to detail in numerous manual steps that results in a first-class fit and finish.

We’re proud to introduce 3 new handcrafted espresso tampers from Café Kultur.

• Bianco Metal Tamper shown with Titanium Base
  ($86 with stainless steel base, $118 with titanium base)
• Burled Walnut Tamper shown with Titanium Base
  ($100 with stainless steel base, $130 with titanium base)
• Palisander Tamper shown with Stainless Steel Base
  ($95 with stainless steel base, $128 with titanium base)

Because these tampers are handcrafted, we only have limited quantities available and these generally sell out quickly. Please visit Artazza for more information about these and other TORR tampers from Café Kultur. The Bianco Metal Tamper is not listed on our website, please contact customer service if you’re interested.

Fresh Mint Chocolate Fondue

We have posted a new recipe “Fresh Mint Chocolate Fondue”, which was especially created for us by Ashley Rodriguez, chef, food author and teacher to demonstrate how to prepare a gourmet dessert fondue using our Swiss handcrafted, professional quality fondue set.

Ashley writes: “There is very little that can cause the same excitement as a large bowl filled with warm chocolate. Especially if said bowl is accompanied with pillowy soft marshmallows and sweet, crispy cookies to use as a vehicle to enjoy the chocolate. Add to that the fresh hint of mint that cools the deep, dark chocolate and you are in for a new Holiday tradition.”

Fresh Mint Chocolate Fondue

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 5 sprigs fresh mint
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 vanilla bean (optional)
• 2 cups chopped bittersweet chocolate
