        Sure thing peoples.

        1> The service was exceptional. Sent my coffee basket to allow exact fitting and received the goods in a well protected box in 4 days!
        2> The tamper feels wonderful to use and the scored edges allows more accurate tamping.
        3> The tamper itself is a beautiful piece of work and hand crafted so it stands out more.
        4> Greg himself wants feedback after buying the tamper for improvements and quality control
        5> The way the wood is carved makes it very comfortable to hold! It is a pefect weight as well. Not too heavy or not too light!

        DOes this help?

        I nearly bought a Reg Barber...but for the same price, speed and professionalism, go the Pullman. There is no commission I assure you.

              ditto.

              it just sucks that the La Marzocco baskets can vary in internal diameter just enough to be annoying. The LM basket I sent to Greg is just a fraction bigger internally than the double basket that arrived with my new portafilter! So my tamp fits one basket perfectly, but gets stuck in the other!

              Not that that is Gregs fault, let me make that clear! It just means that rather than leaving one basket in a naked pf, and the other in my spouted, I have to pop the bigger basket out of whatever pf it will be in, to use it in the other.

                    Re: Greg Pullman Tamper

                    i ordered a silvia from sydney mocopan (coffee philosphy) on the weekend. eagerly awaiting its arrival. I have just got off the banks website after transferring money to greg for my new tamper, without having read this thread. This thread has somewhat reassured me that spending $70 on something whose sole purpose is to squishe coffee was the RIGHT thing to do, especially on a uni bums budget. o_O

                      Flamin heck. Times must be changing. In my uni days ALL spare coin was to be spent on beer. Luckily I have matured a little since then . A Silvia on tap when studying ...you lucky lucky bastard (said hanging upside down with my best Python impersonation).

                          What I wouldnt give to be spat at in the face!!

                          The Pullman Tamper is indeed a worthwhile investment.
                          Never look back! ;D

                            mmm... beer...

                            dont get me wrong. I love beer. beer is quintessential for any uni bum. Wine is good too, especially for testing how much of a snob we all are (or think we are). But I think that it is much more satisfying to have everyone compliment you on the really good coffee you just created for them. We are the main reason that their drink is so good. Go and buy a bottle of wine or beer and all you did was choose it, plus, its more expensive.

                            After having said that though, I think that I much prefer the after-effects of having six beers in a row to that of having six coffees in a row...

                            Anyway, back to the topic at hand... The tamper I got today was the Jarrah flavour. My old folks have Jarrah outdoor furniture and I reckon its pretty hefty and solid.

                            Would I have to oil / treat the wooden handle at all?

                            Victor.

                              I dont think you need to oil the handle if you use it regularly.
                              I believe the oils you impart from handling it are sufficient.
                              Certainly mine still looks and feels great after 18 months.
