La Marzocco Linea Micra

QuickMill Carola - Replacing steam valve question
I don't know your machine, but from QuickMill's site, it looks like a normal steam valve similar to what would be on normal HX and dual boiler machines, so I'm guessing that it has that sort of hemispherical compression fitting braized to the end of a copper tube, so no, don't put any stuff in the fitting.

Moka pot questions.. brewing and filters
