Tamper BigStep for SAGE machines | 53.40mm | burnt orange

SAGE machines deliver great extraction, but the ability to reduce channeling is limited with standard tampers. That is why we have developed a BigStep especially for the basket carrier diameter that is usual at SAGE.

Please note that our regular 58.55mm diameter BigStep can be used for the 58xx versions of SAGE. This variant here 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 big 58.55mm Big-Step, its smaller SAGE brother significantly reduces channeling when using the standard Breville filter. The 53.40mm SAGE Big-Stop uses the same patented technology like the big one to prevent the creation of a vacuum when camping. Here is our video comparison.

If you have no experience with dosing the coffee, using the BigStep will help you. Coffee needs room to expand with the addition of water. A guide to the right amount of coffee in the basket: if the top edge of the tampered BigStep is below the top edge of the basket, take a little more coffee, if the top edge of the tamper is above the top edge of the basket, take a little less. Of course, this is only a rough guide that can and should be adjusted depending on the coffee, personal preferences and experience.

Suitable for all SAGE machines (Breville) with 54.00 mm basket beam diameter.

Pullman Barista Grip - Anodized - Burnt Orange

Robust, classic, straight forward - the handle made of anodised aluminium.The theelectrolytic Oxidentification of Aluminium makes the material harder, more resilient and more resistant to corrosion. Anodized handles are also largely insensitive to impact damage because no color is applied during the anodization, but the top aluminum layer is converted into an oxide. The resulting insensitivity to water and the low weight make the handle the perfect companion for the professional barista. 

Available in many different, stylish colors and special editions.

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 basket carrier for the initial distribution of the ground coffee.

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

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