Re: Steam arm threads
Thats very snobby behaviour TimO
Try changing the technique to get the desired results
Or get some "one on one tips" from a good barista if possible

Steam arm threads
My search for the perfect steam set-up has gone a little too far - I now have 6 different steam tips. But my quest has hit a snag - 2 of them recently purchased from coffeeparts dont have a matching thread.
The machine is a Rancilio S26.
The new tips are coffeepart numbers:
404662-2 ($15.68) and
703472 ($31.35) This was what was ordered although Im suspicious that Ive been sent the wrong one as it looks more like 404662 ($17.60) - but Ill take that up with coffeeparts.
My question relates to the threads on steam arms - are there known differences between brands and what are they. How do you know which steam tips will and wont fit?
As part of my quest I have also purchased coffeeparts numbers
614723-A $15.68 (2 hole)
614723 $7.43
700528 $17.88 (most like the original which was a 3 hole)
which all seem to match the thread (although all require some plumbers tape for a leak free fit.
Any tips appreciated.

btw today I replaced the showerscreen and group gasket on my ECM Giotto Premium - it was so easy - wish Id done it months ago. That beautiful smooth spongy action is back again. Just had to report that to someone that cared.Tags: None
