for anyone that cares...
Ok, so a few months on and Im steaming like a dream.
did a little tooth pick mod on the steam wand which made a HUGE difference.
The pav has a 3 hole tip, so when the wand is at one side of the jug, one hole points directly at the side of the jug, a pointless waste really. all it did was heat up the side of the jug and disrupt my nice circular milky whirlpool. So i plugged it with a toothpick (as in 1st image below).
the 2nd image just shows the old and new steam paths (and consequently milk) within the jug.
as it may or may not be clear from the pic, the mod now means that steam is plunged down into the milk and sends it mixing in a circular motion.
(sorry for my poor artwork) :
;DCheers,
Matt
Edit: you can see my mod in action here:
