I purchased The Force Tamper and was disappointed that while it was listed on the web site as a tamper and distribution tool, no mention was made in the listing that it only came with the flat tamper base. So, in other words, it was not capable of distributing the grounds. The instructions which came with the tamper specifically recommended the distribution base if that is what you wanted to do with the tamper. While I am pleased that the return authorization is going smoothly, and I'll hopefully receive a credit soon, I feel that the web site could be clearer in what they are selling. Had the description indicated the tamper did not come with the distribution base, I never would have ordered the tamper. In short, a lot of time was wasted due to an incomplete description.
