Know before you buy
No, this product is the handle only. You will need to purchase a compatible Pullman tamper base separately to complete your assembly.
The handle comes with three stackable spacers that allow you to adjust the handle height across a 15mm range. You can unscrew the handle to add or remove these spacers, providing eight different height configurations to suit your grip preference.
For best results, apply a consistent force of 10-15kg. Once you have tamped, a gentle spin of the handle can help polish the coffee puck for a clean, smooth finish.
Since this handle is made from anodized aluminum, you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth or wash it gently by hand. Avoid using harsh chemicals and never place it in the dishwasher; ensure you dry it immediately after cleaning to maintain the finish.
