      Hi! Is the offer still on for the portafilter and tamper combo? hope its not too late :-?
      Yep buzz, its still on. The first ones sold and I expect the main shipment will be available sometime after May 11. Will update the For Sale area at that time.

      Techo: The photo on page 2, scroll down and you can see the photo with a Synesso double basket. Dont have any Sunbeam baskets to put in there but theyre similar enough to give a good idea.

        Ok , Thanks Greg. Its actually in the For Sale topic, but followed the link from your "Sold" post.
        Looking forward to the next batch.
        Any joy with the weight of the tamp yet. I find a weighter tamp gives a better reference.

            NPF Arrived today and had my first shot...

            What can I say :-) Interesting with the new basket as well. Bit extra coffee, usual tamp and 3:00pm on teh dial. Noticed a clearly defined pour from the front. Yep, in the puck you could see the channelling.

            Usually I would not have check so closely, prior to dumping the puck.

            Gues the next step it a real TAMP :-)

            Great job.

                anger,

                Sunbeam says to tamp with 30kilos...that is insanely too much

                ease off the tamp..

                They also tell you to tap the PF...

                tap it only once and tap it after a light tamp not the proper tamp...it aggitates the puck from the sides of the basket.

                hope it helps

                    Wife has been sick... But have to admit... Naked is BAD real BAD...

                    Every time I now have to squat down and watch the pour... Then of course I inspect the puck.... So much more critical now....

                    I tap twice, dose, tamp, up dose ad then final tamp.. With teh grind I am using, only a light tamp.... A heavy tamp 15 - 20 or higher and a full choke...

                      Ive found the Pullman tamper a major help, plus since obtaining the Super Jolly, Ive got more consistant extractions.

                      This is my dosing tech..

                      Grind all that you need, then dose, tap on grinder fork, dose, tap again, dose, slight compress with fingers and level, 15kg Tamp ONCE and polish (no pressure). I nail the extraction almost every time with this procedure.

                      When using the Sunbean grinder, I follow the same procedure however more intermediate taps to settle the grinds.

                      If you Tamp twice, youll get channelling without a doubt. Even if your using a quality tamper. I used to do a intermediate soft tamp between dosing but no more.

                              Hi all..

                              Finally managed to put the goodies to the test. Had my first go with the Gregs tamper and the bottomless pf.

                              The tamper is fantastic. Heavy and a perfect fit.

                              PF is good, but exposing all my flaws.

                              Microfoam or latte art is too hideous at this point for posting.

                              Still a long long way to go. An interesting one i hope!
