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.

Incidentally, the MK III also looks great with its matt gold finish.

Titannitrid is a ceramic compound of titanium and nitrogen, which is ideally suited for materials with high loads 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 thermally conductive 
• Hygienic and biologically harmless, absolutely food-safe

The insensitivity of the TIN coating to corrosive influences, even in critical environments, increases the service life of the coated material considerably. The surface of your BigStep MKIII tamper also lasts 2-10 times longer than uncoated steel.

Of course, the usual BigStep properties are also retained 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 and biologically harmless, absolutely food-safe
• perfect with Pullman 876 Filtration Baskets

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

The BigStep is the non-plus-ultra among tampers and has not won countless titles at barista and latte art championships for nothing. But the BigStep is also very popular in the home sector.

Thanks to the patented step, which enables a diameter of 58.55 mm with extremely low tolerances of +/- 0.02 mm, the big step fits exactly into the precision screens specially made for the Pullman system and thus prevents any channeling from the outset .

The result is an extremely even puck that is optimally compressed even at the edges of the basketes. Only the patented 'Step' enables this maximum surface coverage, it ensures that despite the extreme fit of the tamper base to the basket, no vacuum is created when lifting after tamping.

This makes the BigStep the tamper with the largest diameter and the largest surface coverage on the market.

Extremely high-quality 440C stainless steel ensures freedom from wear and the best material properties.

Danger: 
Pullman cannot control the wide range of different inner diameters in many brands and weight ratings of precision screens. 
Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the BigStep is compatible with third-party baskets.
We therefore strongly recommend purchasing Pullman Filtration Baskets. These are perfectly adapted to the BigStep base and checked by hand.

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

 

Pullman Barista Griff - ACETAL Black - Suitable for all Pullman tamper bases from the BigStep and Barista Original lines

Acetal is an elastic, impact-resistant and unbreakable material. Due to its outstanding material properties, it is used as a knock insert in our powder-coated barista handles.

A full acetal handle makes it particularly suitable for baristas who want to knock the portafilter with the side of the handle rather than the top. 
The finish was done by hand bead blasted, to a semi-soft tactile feel with a visually similar effect to the rubber in the base. 
acetal is warm to the touch and lighter than aluminum. It offers the tactile benefits of hardwood (warm to the touch) combined with the strength and durability of aluminium.

These properties make it the ideal tool in the tough everyday life of the coffee bar.

The handle is easy to clean with water.
