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.

Not quite but close.
Color: Pine
The panel is hollow. If you’re buying it thinking it’s going to dampen sound, it really won’t. I bought some foam to put in the hollow part and that works okay, but it shouldn’t be required.

Fantastic performance with respect to privacy and room temperature.
Color: Frost
While this standing room divider is tall and wide enough to provide a nice privacy barrier, it also allows light to filter through while maintaining that privacy. Assembly was easy with simple to follow directions and the only place I struggled was in pulling the fabric down to connect it. Similar to putting on a compression sock- it takes time and stretching/pulling. I don't think I ever got it to line up completely at the bottom and velcro together like it should, but it is a fantastic benefit. I have a home office on the ground floor, so when the curtains are open, it's not entirely unexpected to have a passerby look in as they go past. This provides basically a wall for them to look at. And I love it. Aside from the privacy, an unexpected benefit is wind control. On hotter days, my dog likes the window open, but hot to him may be cold to me, so I open it for him and allow this instant wall to shelter me. It is surprisingly effective at keeping the cold breeze from reaching me. I could not be more impressed with this divider. It stands on its own and provides privacy and temperature regulation through it's sturdy frame and thick (light-friendly) fabric.

Hiding from Coworkers Has Never Looked So Classy
Color: Frost
Let me tell you something: this divider isn’t just a piece of furniture...it’s a sanctuary, a confessional booth for the emotionally exhausted, and a glorious wall between me and other people’s nonsense. I slid behind this beauty like a barfly dodging an ex, and baby, I felt safe. It's lightweight, but sturdy enough to block out both sunlight and bad vibes. The fabric’s got a fancy little texture, which is great if you're hiding and still wanna feel aesthetic. It moves easy, it stands tall, and it gives me just enough space to eat my sad desk lunch in peace while pretending I’m in a better timeline. Final Word: Perfect for offices, bedrooms, dressing rooms, or wherever you need to spiritually disassociate. Whether you’re blocking out sunlight or Barbara’s unsolicited MLM pitch, this thing’s got your back. Literally. Five stars. Would (and likely will) emotionally withdraw again.

Great quality, perfect height to block the sun from the skylights.
Color: Frost, Color: Frost
We have skylights in our home that don't have shades yet so when we are in our loft, the sun will either blind us or make it unable to see our monitors clearly. So while we're waiting on installing shades, we thought to get a cover to block out the sun and this is perfect! It's tall enough to block out the sun and easy enough to move around as the sun moves. I don't love the way the cover looks, but it seems like it might be changeable. I think for privacy when we have guests in the loft, we would need a few more of these. The base is very sturdy and the quality overall is perfect. It is pricey, but most of these panels are. So really happy with this divider!

Works great but lacking value
Color: Nocturne
It's a well packaged item including a simple tool set and a clear instruction. No smell. I put it together just by myself in about 15-20 minutes without any problems. The base is solid pieces of metal, and it stands very sturdy. It's also light enough for me to move it around in my office to serve different purposes. I like the color and the quality of the fabric. It blends in with my office space perfectly. I needed it as a partition between my desk and the door, and the background for my video conference call. Surprisingly, it can also deflect the air coming down from the AC vent behind my desk. I didn't expect it to 100% soundproofing (not its purpose), but I feel it did absorb some humming sound from my mini fridge behind my desk. Sturdy metal for free-standing, yet pretty light weight for easy assemble and to move around. Keeping it beside my desk to separate lounging and work area, and I could move it easily if I want a conference-call backdrop. I can tell some difference in the sound absorption, as my all-in-one space (kitchen, dining, work, living) area can sound loud at times, it does provide some damping effect. But I must say for the price I was expecting more. More solidity and weight. More privacy. It's just not very big for the price paid. A good price for two panels but this was just a single.
