Domtron’s Comments:
i have been using this tamper on and off, mostly on, for five months, it is extremely durable and will last a lifetime, it fits my hand extremely well and i have four other baristas working at my shop and they all think its probably the most comfortable tamper they have ever used, the reg used to be our pick but this tamper just feels so good, the rubber thing at the base is great and it looks like new after five months and i dont think it will break.
the weight is enough to have you think you’re picking up a tamper but it isnt a heavy load to use over and over during the busy day.
the tamper just works, i have a flat base model and the shots i pull from this on our la marzocco linea are as good as any tamper i have used, i personally own over 25 tampers and have used almost every commercially available tamper available worldwide, this tamper PWNS!
- Fancy box, Aye :)
- the acetal handle looks schmick as!
- all of the adjustable bit to adjust the handle length, a great idea
- the tamper in pieces
- voila! love it





I am in complete agreement.
At first glance this tamp looks schmick- but then you wonder what would happen when you drop it. I have.. a few times. Still good!
To be more frank, this tamp rips it up. It fits like a glove and the weight is very evenly proportioned. As Dom mentioned, it’s heavy enough but its no canon ball. But don’t be confused, this puppy will explode out a nasty rist. And by nasty I mean nasty. Fact.

I could have told you that!
They’re designed for the commercial world so they were designed to cope with abuse. The test units were fired at 55kph into a brick wall and survived - a few dents and scratches of course, but intact
I don’t of course guarantee they’ll survive THAT sort of abuse, but it’s so far beyond what they should ever encounter in normal use it means they won’t even notice getting dropped.
WoWzOrZ!!!!! Greg Pullman himself posting here, well tbh, i thought one day that someone would pass on info about my review, well its great to hear that the maker has seen the praise i have for his product, keep up the great work mate. We lurve the tampers
