I just got a giftie of the Urnex Cafiza pellets (I'm guessing that the 2g pellet is intended for a single group use, but it seems a bit much...) so the spoon has been relegated to uselessness for now. Although with a jug of Joe-Glo and another of the Cafiza Powder, something tells me I'll be using it again.
The wire in the tip was only useful for scratching stainless and nickle plate until it got lost, and I don't miss it. 'Twere me, the first thing I'd do with my next Pallo brush is to remove the wire tip, and get a brass wound G string for an acoustic guitar for an lifetimes supply of steam wand cleaners.

Brass wound G string. Sounds like that would hurt.

It does, a bit, at first. Soon, however, you grow to like it!
