How to use the Pullman Barista Tamper
To use the Pullman Tamper properly, it's crucial to follow the correct tamping technique to ensure a purely vertical movement. To begin the tamping process, stand side on to the countertop and hold the tamper with a straight wrist and elbow at a right angle. Placing the tamper straight over the coffee in the portafilter, push the tamper down ensuring to lean your body weight on the tamper to apply an even and level amount of pressure. No need to twist or tap the tamper on the side of the basket as this can cause cracks in the puck and lead to uneven extraction.
Pay attention to your foot spacing, the distance from the countertop, and the speed at which you tamp and remove the tamper from the basket, as these factors can affect your technique.
Achieving consistency may require some practice, but if you keep all these steps in mind, you can achieve a level tamp every time.
How to keep your Pullman Barista Tamper in top condition
- Your tamper is a very important tool for extraction, so you must treat it accordingly.
- Always keep your tamper on rubber, cloth or a soft surface as hard knocks or scratches can damage the base surface and compromise its precision by providing a perfect tamping
platform.
- Pullman can re-polish or resurface the base from minor surface scratches if needed.
- Clean your tamper by wiping it with a dampened cloth. Do not submerge or clean with any commercial or harsh cleaners.
- Wood handles are treated with Danish Oil which can be reapplied if the tamper is drying out due to heavy use, but make sure it is done in stages, always wiping any excess oil off during the process to ensure an even application.
