Hey all, just looking for some technical advice on an idea I have to try to fit the Sproline Foam Knife or Vortex tip to my Rocket Espresso Giotto Evoluzione machine. From what I can tell, the Sproline foam tips are not compatible with the Rocket's steam arm... So I'm wondering...
1. Is there a thread adapter that might work?
2. If not, is it possible to swap the whole steam arm out for a La Marzooco arm? Are there any disadvantages to this?
Has anyone done this mod?
Thank you!!
Chuck

A thread adapter should work, but maybe tricky to find unless you know the full specs of the tip and the wand to match (male/female, internal diameter, thread pitch).
It's also possible to replace the whole wand, here's a thread where it has been done on the Izzo Alex Duetto: How to use Sproline tips on Izzo Alex Duetto II = Perfect Microfoam
