pullman bigstep 58.5mm tamper - white handle

Call it the pinnacle of tampers if you like, or the holy grail if you wish. Manual tampers don't get better than a Pullman Bigstep. Pullman's Big Step tamper is carefully weighted and exhibits great balance in hand. The machined parts is designed with great craftsmanship and high repeatibility in mind. The patent-pending piston is designed to snugly fit the Pullman Filtration Basket, as well as VST-style ridgeless baskets (58.70 mm diameter or larger), giving you full compaction with little to no residual grounds on the side-walls. That means you're compacting your puck fully and evenly across the entire surface, which greatly helps in reducing edge channeling and donut extractions, and can increase extraction yields. The tapered step in the base design reduces suction while removing the tamper, so dislodged or fractured pucks are much less of an issue.
