    Been trying to get some of the wood grain stuff... Can not find any locally..

    Can not wait to see yours
    And its arrived. The colour match is very close to the Elektra Portafilter handles. Check it out. As far as Im aware its the worlds only Pullman Tamper in Bakelite.

    Nice work by Greg and his team.

          Faema Faemina

So long as the material can be sourced and turned (yes and yes to Bakelite) we can potentially make them out of anything.

          In the past weve done tamper handles in Sheaoak, Zebrano, Olivewood and Cocobolo to name a few, a Deluxe base in Aluminium Bronze and have also done a few porta-filter handles in the past for people whove wanted something special. This one for example we did for a Faema Faemina which originally had a plastic handle that had cracked - the replacement was done in ebony which came up looking a treat.

          Greg - I am presently looking at a Faema Faemina Red Label - the early model with brown bakelite handles. One of the handles is cracked & requires replacing to bring the machine up to full pristine condition. Could you make a matching bakelite handle and one that also matches the existing bakelite colour? I could send you a photo for assessment. A new handle would require a circular hole to allow for a spigot to the stainless steel shaft to enable the bakelite hand to be pushed home? I have a couple of days to make up my mind as to whether I buy the machine - so here is hoping you receive this in time. Regards & thank you

            Whoops sorry for the late reply, only just found this. Yep should be able to do that if you're still interested. Bakelite does have different textures so it may not match the style of yours but I'll do what I can. Flick me an email enquiries-nospam@gregpullman.com and we can sort the details.
