    Re: Greg Pullman Tamper

    Hi Soupy,

    Agreed. The first tamper I made was a replacement for the built-in tamper on the Quaha / Imat / Mokita / Nemox range. On the (now defunct) page for that tamper I wrote the following comments at the time which correlate with your point 1) and 3): "...since these require the user to tamp in an upwards direction (against gravity), experience has shown it to be more difficult to exert the same tamping force as can be achieved with the Deluxe model and at the same level of consistency." These of course were fitted which removed your point 2) as an issue though in almost every other case theyre not. By contrast and again in correlation with your last comment, on the page about the Deluxe tamper I wrote: "Tamping by hand allows you to exert a high tamp pressure because youre working with gravity and putting your body weight and shoulder muscles behind the tamp."

    So I think were reading from the same page here!

      I know this comment is not exactly in line with the last few, however it is with the original thread topic - Gregs tampers are great!

      It was Christmas at work on Thursday, having received my brand new Pullman Barista tamper, and CS green bean sample pack. Oh what joy!

      Just a few comments on the tamper:
      1. Build quality is absolutely excellent
      2. Packaging was also of excellent quality
      3. Usability and control is amazing

      Also, Greg is extremely professional, and his prompt responses were just so comforting.

      To put things in perspective, I have gone from the tamper packaged with the Sunbeam 6910 (awesomely plastic with a dodgy metallic base - which has fallen off more than once), to The Pullman. So for me, its like going from a VB Commodore to a nice new Audi R8

      Tamps have been way more consistent now, thanks to the guide rings. And I can actually polish my puck, instead of tearing the crap out of it with the Sunbeam tamper (go the brushed metal on the Sunbeam!).

      Great work Greg.
      Another happy customer!!

      Cheers,
      Adam.

        This is as good a place to post this as any I suppose...

        I had a small issue with the fit of my tamper and contacted the guys at ThingsCoffee/Pullman.

        Their responses were quick and they were happy to help me out. They even worked around my travel plans to make sure I got it back before I left for the US, despite being up against it themselves.


        Greg has left is product in excellent hands; they have been a pleasure to deal with and put out an exceptional product.
