    I am going to ask what may be a stupid question: Flat or Convex? I have read it is dependable on the showerscreen of your machine. What is the showerscreen and where can I find this out about my machine?
    I am of that view
    Get a tamper that matches the shower screen

    The shower screen is where the water comes out when you turn on the brew switch

    And it looks like this

      Ive just being browsing around, still fairly new and came across this thread. It has a common message - Pullman tampers are highly recommended.  However, still be very new to the world of coffee, I am going to ask what may be a stupid question: Flat or Convex? I have read it is dependable on the showerscreen of your machine. What is the showerscreen and where can I find this out about my machine?
      Um, stupid question? I dont think so. In the world of tampers its probably the one most commonly asked! ;D

        Call me a tree hugger if you will but I was wondering where the timber is sourced for the Pullman tamper handles? Plantation?

              "Thanks, I tamped it with a recyled toilet seat!"

                    Kopi Luwak- run through a civets digestive tract. People pay for that! A friend who is a roaster suggested he should get some local possums "on the job."
                    Makes Gregs Thunderbox Specials sound very attractive

                      I should get my cat "on the job!" Then the lazy fatso could generate me some moolah instead the opposite. Hehe!

                        OK having dealt with the frivolity...! : As far as is possible the wood we use is recycled wood (NOT from toilet seats!) - Jarrah is often from old floor boards and Huon Pine is from what was salvaged before Lake Pedder was flooded. Red Gum is normally from individual trees which had to be felled for safety reasons, or under council regulations, for housing developments and so on. New stuff is supposed to come from plantations as opposed to old growth; as far as I know Wenge and Aussie Oak are plantation timbers but some of them could be from recycled sources.

                        So if your question is do we use old growth forest to source our timbers, the answer is still no, so long as what were being told is accurate.
