Hi all.
My friend have got recently got a new espresso machine for her cafe - Rocket REA 2 Group. Steam boiler were set at 120C to get a decent 0.9bar steam pressure.
I have been trying to make perfect microfoam but cant on this particular machine. I have no issues making velvet milk on other machines i am using. At first i thought i am not used to this machine yet and spent a couple of days practicing. Best i can get out is this:


Is it my technique or it is the espresso machine?
Please advice.
