BigStep MK III: the high-end tamper with an even better surface

The further development of the patented world champion tamper with the golden titanium nitride coating: even harder, more resistant, more durable.

By the way, the MK III also looks great with its matte gold surface.

Titanium nitride is a ceramic compound of titanium and nitrogen, which is ideally suited for materials with high stress due to its outstanding material properties. 

• Highest hardness (2450 HV)
• Best adhesion resistance
• Inert to acids and alkalis
• Maximum temperature resistance due to extremely high melting point (2950°C)
• Not heat conductive
• Hygienically biologically harmless, absolutely food safe

The insensitivity of the TIN coating to corrosive influences, even in critical environments, significantly increases the service life of the coated material. The surface of your BigStep MKIII tamper also has a 2-10x longer service life compared to uncoated steel.

Of course, the usual BigStep properties remain with the MK III:

• 58,55 mm ( +/- 0,02mm)
• patented step for exact tamping without vacuum
• no channeling
• high quality, food safe 440C stainless steel
• hand-friendly compression zone (cone)
• hygienic biologically harmless, absolutely food safe
• perfect with Pullman 876 Filtration Baskets

The BigStep: Patented fitting accuracy, the best materials and high-quality craftsmanship make the high-end tamper from Pullman the most popular tool of professional baristi around the world.

Even more precisely manufactured than the other Pullman products, even better materials, even better performance:The BigStep is the best of the best among tampers and has won countless titles at barista and latte art championships for good reason. With a diameter of 58.55 mm and an extremely low tolerance of +/- 0.02mm, the BigStep fits exactly into the precision baskets specially made for the Pullman system and thus avoids any channelling from the outset. The result is an extremely uniform puck that is also optimally compressed at the edges of the basket.

Extremely high-quality 440C stainless steel for wear-free use and best material properties.

Patented 'Step' ensures that despite the extremely precise fit of the tamper base to the basket, no vacuum is created when lifting after tamping.

Please note: 
Due to the variation of internal diameter and capacity of precision baskets across brands, we cannot guarantee that the BigStep is compatible with baskets from other manufacturers. 
We therefore strongly recommend the use of Pullman Filtration Baskets. These are perfectly adapted to the BigStep base and individually checked by hand to ensure consistency.

The BigStep Base MK III comes with a gold 5mm spacer, for more customization we have spacers in different widths, colors and materials in the accessories category.

Barista Handle I Powder Coated I Acid Green

Powder coatings are lacquers that are applied to metal and other conductive surfaces. They produce less waste than liquid coatings and do not contain organic solvents. The material to be coated - in this case, the aluminium handle - is negatively charged by electricity. The positively charged powder adheres to the aluminium and is set in an oven.
The handles are easy to clean, easily personalisable, and available in any colour you can imagine. They are somewhat more sensitive to impact and scratch damage than anodised handles.

The handles are available with (aka BLACK TOP) or without (aka SOLID) black knock insert. The knock insert is made of durable acetal and is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

This is a must have for baristas who 'knock' the portafilter for the initial distribution of the ground coffee.
