Pullman Palm Tamper with Bigstep 58.55mm Base: Blue

Pullman Palm with Bigstep 58.55mm Base : Blue

Pullman's Palm tamper marries the edge-to-edge reach of a Big Step base with precisely adjustable depth and a comfortable palm grip for less arm strain while tamping - could it get any better than that? If you're using a precision baskets, like Pullman or VST, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of an oversized tamper base, which has been shown to increase shot extraction and help prevent channeling.

The Big Step base is a fantastic solution, and the patent-pending design also reduces suction when removing the tamper so your pucks don't get dislodged or cracked. With the Palm handle, you can also precisely adjust your tamping depth from 7.5-14 mm, with no additional tools needed. During proper tamping, the collar of the handle will catch on the rim of the basket, which ensures a level tamp every time. If you own a coffee shop, all those features add up to better consistency between baristas, better extractions, and less arm strain from contorted movements - that's a big win.

THE BIGSTEP REFERS TO THE DESIGN OF THE LARGER DIAMETER 'STEPPED EDGE' MEASURING IN AT 58.55MM (+/-0.02MM).

Mark II is a fancy way of saying “version 2” and we like to be different..440C however, is more deliberate. This is a 440 grade stainless steel, and has the highest carbon content for a 400 stainless steel series. It is then heat-treated to reach 43-45 HRC.

This increases the surface area of extractable coffee to be covered, including the prevention of a pinched edge of coffee grind that can occur when using such a large (or incorrectly) sized base. Mainly designed for ridgeless precision baskets ( Example,Pullman Filtration, VST, IMS and Strada, Synesso and some LM baskets ).

As Pullman cannot control the large spectrum of different internal diameters across many brands and weight ratings of precision filter baskets, please note that the BigStep base may not fit in some production batches. We strongly suggest purchasing Pullman Filtration Baskets, which are fitted to the BigStep Base, and are each manually checked for consistency.
