Tamper BigStep for SAGE machines | 53.40mm | checkerboard

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.

Matching the BigStep-SAGE are all handles from our Barista-Griff category. Just add and go.

Pullman Barista Griff - CHECKERBOARD - 

Checkerboard is the hallmark of Pullman hardwood grips.
It is handcrafted by alternately laminating jarrah and maple pieces and then turning the resulting blank. The resulting checkerboard look is a real eye-catcher.

The result is a functional, very distinctive handle that is very pleasant to the touch.

Clean gently with a damp cloth.

The Pullman hardwood handles are very popular and provide a great contrast to stainless steel machines and worktops.

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.

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