I too had been wanting to get a 4-hole steam tip. Originally I had a lot of trouble with the stock tip, so I "cheated" and bought the Expobar single hole tip. ITs a cinch to use, but the microfoam isn't AWESOME, its just good.. And surprisngly easy to over-stretch with the single hole because things happen so slowly. So, I switched back to the 2-hole stock tip, and the results were smoother, creamier, better.
So on my last order from EPNW I ordered
This 4-hole Tip. Anita can't keep up at all, and Im running hot.. Max reading is 1.35 at the P-stat. Even If i "surf" and start steaming when at the top of the cycle, it drains the boiler right back down. I was upset to say the least.
So, I guess Ill be ordering the Pasquini tip.. Good to know it works well!
Heres a question. I have been wanting to get the No-Burn wand upgrade, but mainly because I wanted a longer steam arm. Which wand do you think would be better? The S5 arm or the No-burn? AFAIK, Id have to use the
adaptor on either arm if I wanted to use the stock tip, the pasquini or the Expobar, right? Is the no burn longer? I think it is. I dont really care about the no-burn feature, tho it would be nice.. the main reason I want it is for the length.
