    KK I dont understand the timing.

    When do you put the wand in the milk, when do you turn steam to 3/4 and when to full?
    After purging steam wand

    Put the wand in the milk and turn steam knob in the visinity of between 3/4 to fully open quickly from the get go
    Not enough steam just makes hot milk


    Chris also said
    The steam tip should be in the milk just enough to cover the steam holes and let the steam do the work

    It seemed to work when I tried but I will need more practice

      IMO 4 hole tips are easier to work on
      I still maintain that the standard 8mm male Giotto tip is the best tip I have ever used...Its a no brainer for perfect microfoam every time  8-). The porting is the perfect 15 deg or thereabouts and 1.5mm holes. Its a perfect mix of speed and accuracy....

      A VBM tip when modified to mimic this porting produces a transformed milk texture experience.

      Chris does the Gioto tip fit the Bezzera ?
      I wouldnt mind having one to compare and if it works better keep it on

        The Bezzera 2-hole tip is fantastic if you can get the swirl going and isnt dissimilar to the Giotto tip iirc (someone might know better).

        The 4-hole tip was way too much for me starting out but now it makes milk steaming effortless! I advise sticking with it if you possibly can.

          I have made 6 cups since training with my new found knowledge of the Bezzera 4 hole tip and its " how to technique" that Chris at Barazi taught me

          Have to admit it works and works very well, its effortless getting milk to foam
          I am a happy with the results so far

          However I may be leaving it steam a little to long because my foam is a little stiff (just past easy pour stage)
          A little more practice and a little trial and error is still needed to perfect it (at least no more flat white)

            Well,

            Thanks to those who persisted in getting me to continue with the 4 hole tip..... Ive cracked it.   It does take more in the fine motor skill department, but its not as difficult as I thought.    Where I was going askew, was that I was leaving it in too long, scalding the milk and at the same time creating meringue.....nice for pavlova, but useless in coffee.   Man, this thing steams fast!

            Again,
            Thanks to all.

              Re: Bezzera Domus Galatea 2 hole steam tip.

              Ive got a 4 hole tip on my Domus and it makes great milk effortlessly

              These steam wands are designed to take the guess work out of heating milk by pushing the steam from the top to the bottom of the milk jug, then expanding it along the sides, to build a whirlpool motion as it circles back up again, bursting the bubbles on the surface to produce a beautifully smooth and creamy milk with micro bubbles

              I get best results from half filling the milk jug (whatever size you are using), and then plunging the steam wand just below the surface in the center of the jug, and allowing the whirlpool motion to naturally take place by relaxing my wrists completely, letting the pressure of the steam determine the (minimal) movement of the milkk jug

              Depending upon what milk you are using (and its worth experimenting with a few as some make crap milk no matter what you do!), you may want to move the steamwand to the side of the milk jug towards the end of the heating process to further assists bursting any remaining milk bubbles on the surface

              I try and keep both my milk jug and steam wand completely upright, and expand my milk by 30 per cent volume, switching off the steam when the jug starts to get too hot to hold (about 55C?) - bearing in mind that the milk will continue to heat in the jug even after the steam has been switched off

              Also - if the steam pressure is too strong try only turning the steam on marginally, instead off all the way, for a more manageable result

              Cheers,

              Pat

                Have found that the Coffee Parts 2 hole tip Part # 633429 fits the wand of the Domus Galatea FYI.

                  I am now an accomplished Bazzera 4 hole tip user

                  It is so easy and quick to heat and microfoam milk that it is now my prefered way/\/
