    Nothing wrong with a little Objectophiia  :

    Did I forget to mention I am currently single its just my Family and friends that dont get it until I have made them a coffee then they start to get it
    Sounds like at least, your on the way to being a true bait layer....

    I mean, what person of your choice could resist great coffee in teh morning...  That is assuming you wish them to stay... Other wise just bring out the instant

    I think I am in love  : A little box containing another smaller box turned up today containing a little bit of custom metal attached to a nice little lump of Timber. Still unused at this stage but I am in love anyway  

    Photos to follow  8-)
    Does you partner approve of the extra arrangement and the fact that you use that word LOVE so freely

    Poohjay I got a Reg Barber tamper a little while ago and love it, lie the Pullman both are exheptional quality and are a far improvement on the plastic one Ranchilio supply!! As stated not just a functional tamper but a piece of art!

    I also had the stainless one ur talking about RB creams it too- the fit it fantastic, and I fnd the flat base it better too!!

    Come down to budget, but also hey look its nice to have... But there surley is more to life!!

    And besides if you pack the basket with as much coffee as possible it means you cannot vary your dose. Super updosed anyone?

    Tashie (and anyone else), Id recommend reading that article pretty carefully. Its clear to me at least that it was not a very scientific undertaking.

    Im just a newbie, but I read an article https://www.coffeeco.com.au/articles/tweaks.html that said the tamping might not be a factor.  
    Quote from said article:
    Tamp not a factor

    One thing that putting as much coffee in as possible did was to remove the effects of tamping as a factor in the shot quality. A light “smoothing” tamp to remove voids and ensure good edge contact with the filter basket was just as effective (or not) as the heaviest “grunt” tamp I could manage. To prove to myself that this situation wasn’t exclusive to the Silvia, I tried the same thing out on a 1-group La Marzocco and got the same results.


    That was for one extreme circumstance where the basket was filled to the absolute limit before any more coffee caused leaks.

    Hi there,

    Im just a newbie, but I read an article https://www.coffeeco.com.au/articles/tweaks.html that said the tamping might not be a factor.

    Hmm ... maybe a Pullman will magically appear one day and hopefully she doesnt notice!

    That is so evil but I totally dig the idea!  

    Now the long wait for payday booo!
    It took him 2 1/2 weeks to notice 8-) I just downplayed it! As in "what are you talking about? Oh, that old thing!" ;D ;D ;D Hes still asking how much it cost!
    I love my Pullman- its a total work of art

    Ha!
    Greg: enuff said, you had me at Ha! Hope to get a Pullman by xmas this year, pingusam has kindly sent me his rosewood handle one so at least I can tamper better than the plastic crap that came with the silvia.

    The wife went to Simon Johnson for lunch yesterday and they were selling tampers for $130, I told her I could get a much better one for $100! I think Im wearing her down slowly, making her realize that a Pullman isnt actually *that* expensive

    Need to plan out my magically appearing Pullman tamper hahah shhh..
