On December 13, 2002, Greg Pullman sold his first coffee tamper – a ‘Tapped Disc’ tamper which was a retrofit for the Quaha / Imat / Nemox machines.

Who would have thought 10 years later we’d have sold close to ten thousand tampers worldwide?!

To celebrate this event we’ve had these super-special tamper handles turned up and engraved with a commemorative seal! We’ve got both Barista and Nexus tamper handles in Ossage Orange, Spalted Holly and American Walnut so there’s a good spread of colours. There are only a few of each variety and naturally each one is a bit different.

These will go on sale at 9am Adelaide Time (GMT+1030) 13 December 2012 at Things Coffee, which is 10 years to the day from when we shipped the first tamper. To be fair to everyone there won’t be any reservations in advance so it’ll be strictly first come first served. There’ll be a $20 premium over standard units for these commemorative models. This is a great opportunity to get a piece of history that also performs beautifully as all Pullman tampers do!

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers and those industry professionals and home users who have helped us develop our products over the past 10 years. It truly has been a collaborative effort, of which each tamper owner is the beneficiary. Keep tamping!
