Aluminium Bronze LOOKS similar to brass - but unlike brass, it resists tarnishing and fingerprinting, ensuring it stays looking good for longer.
It also has almost exactly the same density as stainless steel, ensuring comparable weight and balance specifications as its stainless steel counterpart.
Aluminium Bronze is softer than stainless steel so is more likely to dent and scratch; however it has an aesthetic appeal all of its own and is a perfect companion to top-end brass-plated espresso machines.
The Barista Original base is available in a flat or convex (U.S./1.5mm curve) surface in a choice of 304 or 316 grade stainless steel. All Pullman Barista Tamper parts are made in Australia from premium-grade materials, so you can be assured of the highest quality results.
One difference about your new Pullman tamper is that the base is a precision-machined instrument made to 50 microns (0.05mm) tolerances to ensure you get exactly the right size tamper base required for your machine.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BASE SIZE?
PLEASE NOTE: COLOURED CONES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR TAMPERS BETWEEN 55-59MM DIAMETER
