Howdy all, just tried this today and I know I've seen a post or two wondering about it so I had to post my experience - used in combination with the Espro Toroid pitcher, this thing makes steaming trivial, I've never been a great steamer and was able to easily generate great foam on the first try. I think this is my 4th tip and it seemed a bit expensive as a gamble, but the others all truly pale by comparison now that I've tried it. If anyone in the Bay Area wants to give it a try we can meet up, but in any event highly recommended.
