Pullman Tamper BigStep for SAGE machines | 53.40mm | Acetal

SAGE machines provide great extraction, but the ability to reduce channeling is limited with standard tampers. We have therefore developed a BigStep specifically for the usual SAGE portafilter diameter.

Please note that our normal BigStep with 58.55 mm diameter can be used for the 58xx versions of SAGE. This variant is only suitable for machines with a diameter of 54 mm.

Tamper BigStep for SAGE machines I 53.40mm

The Pullman SAGE BigStep base was developed to minimize channeling at the edges even with the smaller SAGE diameters. Like the large Big-Step with 58.55 mm diameter, its smaller SAGE brother also significantly reduces channeling when using the standard Breville filter. The 53.40mm SAGE Big-Stop uses the same patented technology as the big one to prevent a vacuum from forming when camping. Here is our video comparison .

If you don't have any experience with dosing coffee, using the BigStep will help you. Coffee needs room to expand with the addition of water. An indication of the correct amount of coffee in the sieve: if the upper edge of the BigStep is below the upper edge of the sieve when tamped, use a little more coffee, if the upper edge of the tamper is above the upper edge of the sieve, use a little less. Of course, this is only a rough guide that can and should be adjusted depending on the coffee, personal preferences and experiences.

Suitable for all SAGE machines (Breville) with a 54.00 mm portafilter diameter.

Pullman barista handle - powder coated - acetal

Powder coatings are paints that are applied to metal and other conductive surfaces. They produce less waste than liquid coatings and are free of organic solvents. The material to be coated - here the aluminum handle - is negatively charged by electrical voltage. The positively charged powder adheres to the resulting electric field and is baked in the curing oven.

The handles are easy to clean, available in all colors imaginable and wonderful to customize. Slightly more sensitive to impact and scratch damage than anodized handles.

The handles are available with (BLACK TOP) or without (SOLID) black knock insert. The knock insert is made of durable acetal and is not only functional, it also looks good.
A 'must have' for baristas who 'knock' the portafilter for the initial distribution of the ground coffee.

Spacer - Spacer for individually adjusting Barista and BigStep tampers to the anatomy of the hand.

Color ALU: the 5mm spacer is installed, the versions in 2mm and 8mm are included for possible subsequent adjustment.
