is a tamper included?

No and do not use one with this pot. The espresso must be loose or it will leak!

I use the back of a spoon VERY lightly. The clean carefully so there is no grinds to get in the way of the seal

No. The coffee should not be tamped with a tamper as for a high-pressure espresso machine. It should be lightly compacted with a spoon to ensure the funnel is properly filled and there are no air pockets, but it should not be tamped.

No, there is no tamper; but check YouTube, etc - it is recommended to NOT ramp or only lightly. I use the back of a spoon.

No with this type pot you don't tamp it down. Unfortunatelt you don't get crema but I use it in a latte and it works very well. As just a cup of espresso I don't know.

No it's not included and it's pretty cheap. I returned mine the next day. Hope this helps.

NO, you need the MINI TAMPER found here: http://www.amazon.com/Vitamix-Mini-tamper-48-ounce-Free-Tamper/dp/B00B32N4PC/ref=sr_1_1?m=A268FO3IPAT5Y&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1427326562&sr=1-1&keywords=mini Otherwise this tamper will be too long and contact the blade when pushed through the lid during use.

No, the tamper that came with your machine is 11 3/8" . . .this one is 12.75". Call Vitamix as they don't currently offer the right tamper on their site but may be able to send you one just the same.

NO!!! My package was tampered with and replaced with regular Prevage. The Prevage that you buy at a Department Store. I did not receive the product that I thought was advertised.

There is supposed to be a card in the box. You have to scratch it to reveal the code. You should check item description to make sure the card was included.

i don't think so it seems like it was made so it couldn't be tampered with. i've had mine for a couple months now and the speaker is still going strong.

I just had a friend buy this here, wanted to save dollars and unfortunately it was tampered, not the real deal at all. She had one direct from DoTerra and was able to know the difference immediately.

Don't know either, but they had the plastic seal on the bottle when I got it. I didn't feel the need to worry about tampering. I have taken them awhile without a bad reaction.

No. I would just consider it tamper resistant and a hindrance to a quick smash and grab.

I received mine cellophane wrapped, I did not see any signs of tampering. The formula appeared the same as when I purchased from a Dr.

No. See Tom Endicott's answer for description, with the additional comment that the file includes a small flat-blade screwdriver tip.

No, neither were included. I am not a Lawyer so you can trust my answer, and the advertisement if not fraud, is as close to the wire as one could possibly get.

No, it does not come with tamper. I do still use the tamper from original vitamix container although it is not a perfect fit.

No, it's included. My wife bought this item not knowing it came with one also.
