  • My new tamper #1803

    Well, I was going to hold out for a while, but as with most of my coffee purchases, I seem to think about buying something and then someone is online placing an order. Upon close inspection, the someone always seems to be me.

    I decided to order a new Pullman with basket.
    I placed the order on Friday 8th. I got the order on Wednesday 13th.
    Pretty damn fine service.
    This included regular updates via e-mail on the status of the order.

    Having received the new toys last night, i gave the basket a wash and immediately tested them out.
    So far - a resounding success.

    Its been nearly 1600 tampers since my first purchase and all the changes made since then certainly appear to be for the better.

    The handle is certianly smaller and seems more ergonomic, although I dont use mine all day so I never had an issue with the bigger style.
    I love the marker lines, I love the redgum handle and the synesso basket seems to do its job very well.
    I do seem to need more force to bang out the puck with this one, but that may just be due to the fact that its a perfect fit.

    The packaging has also had a lot of thought put into it. Quite secure, attractive box with the logo (makes for a nice gift!) and Express post.

    So, many thanks to Robin and Greg. A quality product with a great turnaround time.

    Cheers!

    P.S. I still like #213, but I daresay #1803 will be getting the bulk of the work for the next few weeks!

    Brett.

      Great news Brett! Coincidentally, I just ordered a tamper & basket from Pullman yesterday as well, also for my Minore!

      Cant wait to get it.

        I received my new custom pullman tamper in the mail yesterday. Had it made to fit my depressurized basket. My birthday isnt till next Wednesday and by the time I made it home the tamper had been hidden > At least I have my basket back, but another 6 days...cruel and unusual punishment.

            Yes - Some time ago Greg mentioned that each tamper has a unique number (under the handle).
            So, I immediately looked at my first tamper and found it was #213
            And of course, when the new one arrived, I did the same thing to find its #1803

            So, nearly 1600 tampers have been made in the meantime. Thats a lot of SS on the lathe.

                Great to hear Brett! The packings been something weve wanted to do for a while but time hasnt allowed until Robin started helping out. Glad you like it! Few know about the location of the serial numbers Re the steel, thats about 3/4 of a tonnes worth, so yep theres certainly no grass growing around the lathes at the moment!

                Greg

                BTW your Silvias still going as strong as the day I unpacked it!

                      YeeZa,

                      We certainly have a few similarities in our kits now.
                      I also have the LM 15deg PF - no naked though.

                      I predict you will fall for a Macap M4 or M5 next! ;-)

                      Brett.

                          Ok, its a bit creepy, I realise that.... maybe I can just leave it down to "Great minds think/drink alike"

                          Im not gonna lie either, my next purchase in about a months time is another grinder. Its down to either a Mini or M4... Im feeling the pressure to keep the constants.... Im leaning to the Mazzer though.
