Skateboard Tampers: Old Becomes Awesome
From the ramps, handrails and half-pipes of skate parks across Europe, these tampers are a little different to what you'd usually find in a coffee shop. Handmade by Jens Reuter, he gave us the lowdown on what motivated him to create these beautiful tampers at his home in Munich, Germany.
Jens - 'Skateboarding is not just a hobby, it's a passion - the same as having an amazing espresso. Being in love with both, I made one beautiful tamper out of one of my old skatebaords for my wife. Having that tamper posted for fun on Instagram I soon figured out that many people, not just in Germany but throughout the world, are amazed by the beautiful bold colours and the spirit that comes with those broken skateboards. It's just sad to throw them away - they are still alive and on top of that they are 100% unique due to being handmade.
Whether they are under your feet or pressing espresso, they will always make you smile.'
Tampers are available with a range of base sizes including 49mm, 51mm, 53mm or 58mm - shop the range now, and if you have any questions please contact us.
