    I just called sunbeam (and their service agent). Both of them said  the new steam tip doesnt fit the old machine. Does anyone know is that true?
    Hi again Tony,

    I guess we now know that the new steam tip definitely fits the old wand.  I cant categorically say that it will fit the EM6900 but I can say with absolute certainty that the new tip fitted my EM6910.  

    The reason why I mentioned the EM6900 is because the EM6900 may have different thread on the steam tip. I know for a fact that the EM6900 has a different portafilter (it doesnt fit in the EM6910 properly) and even the thread for the pour spouts on the EM6900 portafilter as well as the C shape spring retainer for the baskets are different.

    Oh, and price for the new tip was under $15.

    Cheers,

    Lawrance

      Ive switched between the old tip and the new tip and the steaming characteristics of the new tip seem to be slightly different. Its only a subtle difference though. I think that the steam that comes out from the new tip is a little bit more "powerful" which probably means that the opening is ever slightly smaller than the original tip, causing a subtly stronger jet.

      I think this will result in better textured milk. Ill need to do some more testing with texturing milk to see if it is better or not than the original tip, but at the moment, it does seem to be a slight improvement.

          Just picked up my new steam tip.  Fits perfectly.  Will try to make a coffee tomorrow.  
          Try the old one first... For me the new one made a big difference...

              I could buy one and air courier it to you from Brisbane for that and still have $ left over to buy 8 cleaning tabs..

              Sounds more like a Steam arm and tip ?

              If no one can assist you... drop me a PM.
