Pullman Tampers – Base

Pullman Tampers represent a premium piece of quality engineering expertise. All Pullman Tampers are made with precision and produced by a coffee enthusiast who knows what it has to do.

Pullman Coffee Tampers are designed to enhance performance, endurance and aesthetic appeal; from the ergonomic handle, the dimensions and angles on the base, and the TrueTamp rings all assist in getting an even tamp.

Unlike many mass produced coffee tampers, Pullman Tampers are an individual work of art, measured, weighed and stamped with its own serial number – uniquely yours. This may well be the last tamper you ever need to buy.

Barista Bases
Barista Bases are available in various sizes. Please click here to view the size chart for popular machine brands.

These Pullman bases are crafted from 304 grade stainless steel, and all tamper parts are made in Australia. Other benefits of the Pullman bases include:

Stainless steel bases are precision-machined with True Tamp rings for a consistent and level tamp
An ergonomic synthetic rubber compression zone for maximum comfort; also minimises high-volume fatigue
And a set of 3 stackable straight-sided stainless steel spacers, providing up to 15mm of height adjustment in 8 steps without compromising the tamper’s ergonomics.
Because no two hands are the same size, an optimum handle height makes a large difference to the busy barista.

All flat bases are $95. Any other bases (eg. convex) can be arranged via special order.

Using the tamper
The Barista tamper comes with three stackable height-adjustment spacers (included with base). These provide 8 different height options across 15mm of adjustment. Simply unscrew the handle to install or swap the spacers. Generally speaking, a large hand is better suited to a thicker spacer, and a smaller hand works better with a thin spacer. Since the grip used can change the preference, it is recommended to try various combination of spacers until the ideal grip is achieved. Keep any unused spacers in a safe place for future use.

Once a comfortable grip is found, fill the portafilter with freshly ground coffee, rest it on a tamping mat, tamping stand or with its edge on the edge of a bench with your body positioned as close to the tamper as possible. Rest the tamper in the filter basket and, using the True Tamp rings as a guide, adjust the angle of the tamper so it is exactly level. Keeping the wrist straight, apply firm & even pressure from the shoulder through to the elbow and into the rubber compression zone of the tamper to compress the ground coffee while watchin gthe ring to ensure the tamper stays level. Ideally, a force of 10-15kg should be used (can be practiced on a scale to gauge initially).

Once the tamp is complete, release the pressure on the tamper and spin it about 90 degrees. This ‘polish’ helps give the puck a clean and smooth surface. It also dislodges any coffee grounds that have stuck to the tamper. If the tamper doesn’t spin freely and scrapes on the side of the basket, it means the tamp wasn’t level. It is not recommended to knock the side of the portafilter with the tamper, as this may fracture the coffee puck and cause channelling.

Now the portafilter can be loaded and brewed. To begin, 30ml of espresso per cup should be sought – with a brewing time of about 25 seconds. If it takes longer, the grind is too fine, if it’s any quicker the grind is too course.

Care
Acetal plastic or anodized alumimium handles can be washed or wiped as required, however do not clean in dishwashers or use any harsh or caustic chemical cleaners
(particularly bleach or caustic soda). Always dry the tamper immediately after cleaning. Wood or leather handles should be kept dry and only wiped clean with a
slightly damp cloth. Wooden handles are pre-treated with Danish oil and will absorb skin oils during normal use, so shouldn’t need re-oiling.
Leather-wrapped handles may be treated periodically with a leather conditioner.

The desired base can be unscrewed for cleaning if desired, however a wipe with a damp cloth should be all it takes to remove any dried coffee residue or particles.

Best dog toy! Most dog toys lady maybe a week or less but this one has been going strong for almost 2 months. Both the squeekers still work on both toys i purchased. My vizsla loves ti squeek and carry it around. We added an empty water bottle in the pocket cavity for some extra fun! Yes, we are still on the same water bottle! Fantastic durability.

Best toy for Fetch, Inside and outside. I have multiple of them!
Color: Colors May Vary, Size: 5.5 Inch
Size: LARGE This is hands-down my favorite toy for playing fetch/exercising my dog. I've already bought 2 of these, and I am buying a third because the first one is being rotated out (it got baked by the sun after 3 years outside haha). My Story: My dog LOVES to play. All the time. Inside and outside (well duh, all dogs do). But this toy allows me to play inside while not worrying too much about breaking things. My dog has grown out of his "chew to DESTROY it!" phase, so he is able to keep his toys for a long time. I hate touching toys after they've been slobbered all over, it keeps me from playing with him! There are so many toys that become slippery or slimy after just one throw! But THIS is a great toy because you are able to pick it up with one finger, and just fling it really easily, without getting your hands all gross. In fact, when i'm playing outside with my dog, I actually KICK these (large or jumbo size only) instead of throwing them. They are perfect for that! and I can get a good kick and consistent placement every time with this thing. And then, I don't have to touch it with my hands AT ALL! Reasons I love it: - Non-destructive Indoor Play: I like that this thing keeps its shape, but when it hits things, it just doinks off really lightly and doesn't cause any marks or damage to walls, windows, etc. Note: my house is also not full of knick-knacks or delicate items placed all around that are in harm's way. I'm sure it could knock down some little glass vases if it made contact. The point is, if you place your throws well, you are very unlikely to damage anything in your house (besides your wood floors from your dog's nails sliding all around haha). - Quiet: When you kick/throw this toy, and then it lands on the ground/hardwood, it doesn't sound like a bomb went off in your house. It lands softly and lightly, as if you tossed a half-empty toilet paper roll. I have hardwood at my house, so when I play with other toys, they land on the floor and go BOOM as if you just dropped a 20lb weight! If someone else is playing with my dog with other toys and i'm in the other room, it nearly scares the pants off me. I run in and say, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON --oh, you're just playing! so cute. Sorry, continue on." - Slobber-Free: You don't have to touch the slobbery part in order to throw it or kick it to your dog! Very easily kick-able; it's my preferred method of playing fetch (least energy for me, although I should be the one running, ha). - Easy to catch: Super easy for my dog to catch. He should be a wide receiver cuz he catches things that, when I kick it, while it's in the air i'm thinking, "AW CRAP, that's way too far..... OH WAIT, he got it?!?! noiiice!" Makes an amateur "quarterback" proud lol. - Price: It's not $20 per ball! Some toys are $20 and they make you REALLY have to think ... "Does he REALLY need this toy....??" the answer is always NO, (because he has a million toys that are perfectly good). And then I waver so long on the purchase that I forget it even exists! - Longevity: If your dog is past the "MUST.DESTROY.ALL.THINGS!" stage, then it will last a long time. After 3 years, I'm finally replacing/rotating-out the first one I bought 3 years ago. It has been in the sun, rain, winter, mud; everything. I could still use it; it's totally usable! I was just like, "Eh, why not get a new one?" Honestly, you can never have too many of these. seriously. - Light, Easily Portable: I always pack these in my dog bag. They are light, and they can smoosh into the bag to a smaller size if my bag is full. No problem. - Least-annoying toy that your dog brings to you: My dog likes to HINT that he wants to play by bringing his toys and setting them in my lap (wherever i am). With most of his other toys, my reaction is, "GROSS! it's already so slimy!" and I flick it off of me. This Hole-Y Roller is light and not slimy so you can quickly fling it for your dog without getting side-tracked from whatever “unimportant human activity” you’re doing.

Fun with a creative twist
Color: Colors May Vary, Size: 5.5 Inch
This would be a toy to get creative with. The quality is there. It’s a nice size it rolls so it’s great as just a bowl that’s slightly rubbery silicone like that the dog can play with and chew a bit. If you have a strong tour, and you believe that they chew everything that you give them eventually they would probably chew it open. Our puppy likes it plays with that as a typical ball. It’s perfect because he can grab it in his mouth and walk around with it lightly and easily. We do take a kitchen towel. Roll it with treats and shove it inside and he’ll have to try and retrieve that that towel with the treats so it kind of gives us a few minutes of peacefulness. You can create so many different fun games with it because you have access to place things inside you know the holes are slightly big so the items inside would have to be of a good size. We have put his his large wishbones inside to allow for him not to have to hold the bone and it gives him some sort of structure as well as if it rolls away, he finds it to be a game so that’s nice. It’s made well. It’s good quality. I like how it’s blue so the dog could see the color and it’s easy to store cause it’s not huge.
