Pullman Palm Tamper with Big Step Base

Pullman’s Palm tamper marries the edge-to-edge reach of a Big Step base with precisely adjustable depth and a comfortable palm grip for less arm strain while tamping – could it get any better than that? If you’re using a precision baskets, like Pullman or VST, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of an oversized tamper base, which has been shown to increase shot extraction and help prevent donut channeling. The Big Step base is a fantastic solution, and the patent-pending design also reduces suction when removing the tamper so your pucks don’t get dislodged or cracked. With the Palm handle, you can also precisely adjust your tamping depth from 7.5-14 mm, with no additional tools needed. During proper tamping, the collar of the handle will catch on the rim of the basket, which ensures a level tamp every time. If you own a coffee shop, all those features add up to better consistency between baristas, better extractions, and less arm strain from contorted movements – that’s a big win.

Pullman’s Palm tamper is designed and manufactured in Australia using stainless steel and anodized aluminum.

Adjusting your Palm tamper depth: Adjusting the Palm tamper is quick and easy, and we suggest starting by preparing your regular basket with your regular dose, and tamping as normal with a traditional tamper. This will set your baseline target for tamping depth. Then, loosen the adjustments on the Palm tamper by twisting the top counterclockwise until loose. Next, adjust the tamper base depth by twisting it counter-clockwise (from the bottom) to increase the tamp depth, or clockwise to decrease the depth. Check the depth by placing the tamper on your prepared basket. The tamper base should make contact with the coffee and the collar of the tamper should make contact with the basket. If needed, tweak the depth by twisting the tamper base accordingly. When you’re satisfied, just twist the top clockwise again to lock in the setting and you’re good to go! As you tweak your dose or grind setting, you may need to make small changes to your tamping depth, so simply follow the above process to make a slight change as needed.
