I’m looking to tidy up my coffee area and looking at wooden tamper station and wondering what people’s experience is with them.
My problem, other than deciding on wood colour is most of the larger ones have spot for a distributor that I don’t use. Ideally I’d have a portafilter holder, space for tamper, funnel and wdt tool, plus maybe a brush or 2.
Anyone got any good recommendations or avoids?
Etsy seem to have a lot and assuming some might be able to do custom orders.
Think Etsy is a good shout or get one custom made for your needs, there’s alot on Etsy who will do custom stuff
As for wood choice there’s loads.
It does my head in that the niche wood doesn’t match my Evo handles 😂
Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -
There’s a guy on HB you’ve probably seen that does some really nice wood pieces for Niche (and basically any other machine/grinder).

He might do a tamping station too!
Absolutely loads on the Aliexpress
These are by the guy mentioned above. Really stunning work.
Heads up, if you see a non-custom tamper station on etsy or similar, most likely its just bought from aliexpress! Buy for £5 sell for £50, not a bad business model!
Sham cheers yes I had noticed the similarity between AliExpress and Etsy ones and wasn’t sure if it was ok mutation of design or just resale.
I’m going to go with custom in the US.
Just need my sworks wdt tool to turn up to confirm size and decide if I want to get the flow control and knobs on my minima in the same wood along with the portafilter handle.
I hadn’t appreciated the need to destroy current flow control paddle to be and to build a new one
