Product Information The Pullman Barista tamper was primarily designed for use with an anodized aluminium handle and in this combination will provide a balanced tamper. While aluminium doesn’t feel as warm to touch as wood or plastic, it’s the most resilient of the three materials and with a wide choice of colours it has the widest and arguably the most striking aesthetic spectrum. The strength and balance of this handle would make it an ideal choice for a commercial outfit or for a home barista looking for a tamper with a contemporary look. Aluminium is an inherently soft metal, however the ‘anodising’ process colours and hardens the surface, making it more resistant to denting and chipping. This is different to ‘powder-coating’ which simply applies a layer of colour (like paint) over the top of the metal that chips off quite easily. The Barista tamper’s impervious materials mean it can be easily washed or wiped to get it clean in a flash.
