    The purple is lovely--one of my favourite colours. Of course the official designation is grape.

    cmon guys, stop hogging the ones youre not using and sell them on the hardware section
    I am not guilty of that Tashie
    I have sold my pre loved tamper to another CS member when I updated to the Pullman Barista Model

    It sold in less than 45 minutes
    I think I may hold the record

    Well, its certainly not a definitive study, but here are my 2.

    Tamper 213 (left) was purchased in August 2004

    Tamper 1803 (right)was purchased in February 2008.

    I reckon I will soon be ordering a new handle to go on 213 as I no longer use it due to prefering the feel of the newer handle.

    Ive uploaded 6 pics to flickr. They can be viewed at:

    that is so true, i would love to see the pics from the early days to see how they are holding up and the design changes over the years.
    thanks Azz

    My Pullman is about ten years old and still looks brand new. I bought it when I purchased my first Silvia at Alan Frews recommendation.  It looks very much like a first generation model compared to some of the sexy new ones on his site, but it is an essential part of my espresso process.  
    Uh, YES! Well, not 10 years old (tampers dont go quite that far back), but getting close. And yes its definitely an early generation - you might like to post the serial number on your tamper just to prove how far back it goes!  

    Glad to read its still going strong too - we rarely hear back from customers any more than a hearty thanks after the initial purchase, let alone from those real grass roots days (which is probably a good thing as Im sure wed hear if there were problems); but its nice to read confirmation they dont break or rust or wear out or do anything else theyre designed not to do!

    I just recieved a green aluminium handled barista model with 316 steel. I cant compare it to the other steel, but I figured if Im paying that much for a tamper in the first place... no point getting second best. Id be surprised if there is any real need for the high chrome steel to be honest.

    What I can say is my coffee improved instantly. Really good extraction from a Silvia/Rocky with naked portafilter. Of course it could be partly due to the new synesso basket , but I suspect its the combo of good basket/tailor fitted tamper that makes the biggest difference. It resulted in a large improvement in my coffee, so for me it was worth the money.

    Precisely. I dont get the need for tapping anymore – the pullman just "goes" into the portafilter, no pushing required, I pull out, all coffee that was on the sides is pushed down, or pulled out of the basket entirely (ie. no side coffee), and then the final pressure is applied.

    Basically, with the Pullman tamping just "happens". Effortless, its fantastic.
