Misrepresenting to charge more money
As other 1 star reviewers have noted, this Tamper is completely misrepresented. It's not one piece (mine was unscrewed in the box) and thus is NOT uni-body. It's also NOT solid stainless steel. As others have noted it's magnetic so they claim this is proof, but it's not. Some stainless is made with chrome instead of nickle and that stainless IS magnetic, but that's beside the point. It's not solid. You can actually plate stainless onto other metals if you plate copper first, and this has an obvious layer of copper (as well as copper pulled out with a Q-tip), but the final coating may be stainless or it may be chrome. Both use copper as a base plate so it's hard to tell what this is. This appears to be iron tamper, plated with copper, then plated with stainless or chrome. What it isn't is what it was described as and thus the one star. Still deciding if it's worth the hassle to send it back.
