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!
