Just Arrived: La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi II

Good husband my eye! Sentimentality is no substitute for good coffee. When she comes home tonight, hand her the KA grinder & send them both packing. Then replace both of em with a Macap or a Mazzer. Maybe she'll learn her lesson with the next guy. Oh, good luck with the machine

Issue with new replacement steam tip on Quickmill Vetrano

Thanks for the reply Dan. I decided to go back to the stock tip. Not worth giving up the no burn steam arm. I hope Chris coffee is good with returns

Issue with new replacement steam tip on Quickmill Vetrano

Well after 6 months of trying to get consistent microfoam with my original steam tip that came with my Vetrano, Ive tried changing tips.

Giving up on my Vetrano stock steam tip

That was very good micro foam. Maybe I'll just keep practicing with the stock tip. Thanks for the video

Giving up on my Vetrano stock steam tip

Jon, I'm gonna try that. Opening the steam knob less might help. I don't mind if I have to steam for an extra minute, as long as I get good results.

Giving up on my Vetrano stock steam tip

I think I've tried that one to, with the results just being steamed milk. But I try that again. I just think I'd rather take the easy way out at this point & get a tip that give me better results rather than tackling this whole learning curve. I'd rather get good results & feel like

Giving up on my Vetrano stock steam tip

Well after 6 months trying with my Vetrano, I'm finally going to change the steam tip. I've been getting very mixed results with micro foam (mostly unsatisfactory for me) with the stock tip the Vetrano comes with. Either my milk steams too fast before it gets to a nice Latte art consistency & the re...
