What do you want to know? I use them all the time.

They are incredibly reliable machines. Very easy to maintain and make outstanding shots. The steam wands are a little un-forgiving. In fact I have in the past experimented with retro fitting Marzocco taps to a San Marco, Worked a treat.
85's on the whole are a great machine, especially the new ones. Can run a little hot, but nothing a good purging of the group cant fix.

Hi,
I have got at 85-model and must say after I have tried an Isomac Tea for som time, that I am looking for a new steam tip as I cannot make microfoam with my ordinary LSM-steam tip.

Can any of you recommend a steam tip I should be looking to substitute with?

Best regards
Thomas

What about the great 4-holes la Marzocco tip?
