I use the pullmans the most from the selection I have.. i prefer them to the big bang ones I also own. Hard to put a finger on it - i guess consistent is the word.

Also the price from square mile is not excessive - i have both sizes as well !

As i use mainly the darker end of the bean spectrum having baskets capable for ultra high extractions os not really what I need 👍 - but these pullmans seem to balance it well in my use case ( which maybe the big bangs dont )

I’ve also found mine to be consistent and the price is incredibly reasonable compared to other options. I can’t really comment on taste compared to my IMS basket as I’ve never done back to back testing

    Dusk thats a whole different conversation.. heck I am not sure how well I am dialing in a coffee as I dont really drink espresso - and so the milk makes everything taste er good ! 😂

      I must say that after a couple of days using the Pullman basket I am finding it very easy to get on with. The grind needs to be tightened up when compared to the Lelit VST that I was using. They seem very competitively priced and you could do worse than consider adding these to your wish list instead of just imagining the world ends at the VST/IMS doorstep!

      Yeah Pullman has been my go to for a while now and I’ve had no complaints, very good value and quality compared to the competitors.

      It’s the one I use the most as well. I really rate them for price, quality and comparison to others I’ve used.
