Re: expobar steam wand tips
Ive changed the steam arm on my Expobar Leva to the Minore cool touch one and like it (mostly for the cool touch).
adharvey why are you considering changing tips?

Re: expobar steam wand tips
I have an Expobar Office as well. I have two different steam tips that I have bought, plus the original. I bought a 2-hole conical steam tip from Coffeeparts and it is great for microfoam. Is suited to smaller jugs, especially the 300mL and can still do the 600mL okay. I also bought a 4-hole tip from Coffeeparts for when I am doing a larger number of consecutive coffees. The 4-hole tip is extremely fast and as a home barista wouldnt want to use it in anything under 600mL, which is what I use it for.
Coffeeparts stock the 10mm female-threaded tips, which is what you are looking for.

A - standard minore (mk1) 2 hole, larger diameter than B. Slight angle on the holes.

B - small diameter two hole coffeeparts. Straight.

C - 4 hole coffeeparts tip, angled.

C gives me huge bubbles, and I find the pressure drops off in the steam boiler too quickly. I havent used it more than a dozen times, so the big bubbles are due to me.
B is far too slow for my liking.
I like to use the standard steam tip (A). I can steam up a storm of microfoam with a 350ml jug (~140ml of milk).
