Hi All,
I’ve just purchased a Silvia/Rocky Combo, and am really excited to get the best tasting espresso I can from it.
I am in the market for a Tamper and Filter Basket upgrade and am carefully considering the Pesado 58.5mm Tamper and filter baskets. Can anyone shed any light on how they actually perform? And in particular how they compare to say a VST basket/Pullman big step tamper combo - which seems to be very highly regarded as a fantastic setup?
Specifically- I’d love to know:
From what I understand the big step tamper is machined at 58.55mm and the Pesado is machined at 58.5mm - and is half the price, and the pesado(IMS) baskets are also half the price of a vst. We are talking about 0.05mm difference here. I’m really interested to hear peoples thoughts on this before I make a purchase. Also I can’t seem to find any similar forums or reviews for the pesado range, however plenty on vst/Pullman.
Any help to to hear people experience with pesado would be greatly appreciated, thanks heaps in advance,
cheers!
