The Pullman BigStep Hydra Tamper delivers precision tamping with hydraulic consistency, designed for high-end workflows where every shot counts. Featuring Pullman’s renowned BigStep base and a unique springless resistance system, it enables baristas to apply consistent pressure with smooth, repeatable control. Its patented 58.55mm BigStep base fits snugly in most precision baskets, ensuring an even tamp across the full surface of the puck. The adjustable Hydra mechanism mimics 3-20 kg of resistance using an internal hydraulic damper, offering smooth vertical motion that naturally guides the tamper evenly into the basket. This self-levelling action reduces tamp-related variables, promoting more even extractions and better flavour in every cup. Crafted in Australia with CNC-machined aluminium and a stainless steel base, the Pullman Hydra is built for long-term use and reliability. The modular design allows easy maintenance and personalisation, while the matte anodised finishes complement any coffee setup. Whether you’re dialling in your technique or training a team, the BigStep Hydra sets a new standard for precision tamping.
