Hello ALL,
I've just got 53 Espro CONVEX tamper. Feel good in your hand; i really like the look and its weight. It has American curve. But you can feel and even see the sharp neddle point at the base center! Could be a chance for channeling?
Is it the way it should be?
If not, should i sand it off?
I'm newbie; this is my only and first tamper.
Thanks for all your replies
Nathan

Well, a couple of things:
1. If it is fairly small, my guess is that it wont hurt much. There is no water that comes in the center for at least the diameter of the screw that holds the shower head in place, so I think we are talking minimal if any influence. But that is just a theory.
2. If it bothers you, I would contact the seller, and just ask for another one. My guess is that it was a leftover from the machining process, and should not have made it out of QC. All tampers that I have seen are absolutely smooth.

I posted on HB a question about the curvature of the convex Espro and also tried to squeeze out some info on it here.
I bought the flat to use for singles.
