*Tip on making a single hole steam tip for the Rocket Appartamento*

Buy a single hole steam tip for Ascaso steam wands. The thread works and keeps the same design as the original Rocket two-hole tip that comes stock. Only thing is that the plastic straw piping will not fit into the tip due to the threaded part being slightly thicker than the original. What I did is I used a power drill, a 6mm drill bit, a table vise, some lubricating (cutting) oil, and a rag (to protect the tip while on the vise). Voila! I carefully drilled it until it allowed clearance for the straw. Perfect microfoam every time. Enjoy!
