  • Sunbeam Em6910 steam tip

    Sorry if this has already been posted and answered, havent bveen able to find it anywhere.

    I want to know if you can replace the standard steam tip on the machine with a commercial one? If so, what brand can I use, is there size specifications that I can use to buy a new one.

    Whilke Im at it, what filter basket can I put in the portafilter. I saw people say you can replace it. Is there anything I need to know when looking at getting a replacement?

    Sunbeam now has a new steam tip which seems easier to clean. No idea about improved performance though.

        the steam tip supplied onyl has one hole. Im wanting to put a 3 hole tip on it. i know there were rumours sunbeam would upgrade the steam tip, but it seems it must be the same as the 6900 cause it only has one hole.

          crazyhakins,

          You need a LOT of steam to drive a three hold tip (unless the holes are very small - and almost useless!)..... You need the pressure more than the volume of steam for texturing and more holes will lower the pressure.

          A thermoblock would really struggle with anything other than a single hole tip..... more holes really require a boiler supplying the steam..... and a reasonable sized boiler at that!

            Thanks for that JavaB.

            What about the filter basket? Is it standard size?

              cazyhawkins,

              The 6900/6910 have standard 58mm baskets. In fact the size, profile (and volume of coffee) of the Sunbeam double basket is almost identical to the Synesso ridgeless double.
