    I had the A1 version (rotary tanked and volumetric), mine had a 4 hole steam tip (none in centre, all around the outside edge), the holes were 1.5mm from memory. I welded up the holes with JB weld and redrilled to 1mm, it made a huge difference. easy microfoam and plenty quick.

    Did you re-drill the 4 holes in the same position mate?

      Yes same spots. If you have a 0.9mm drill but it will be even better.

      If you search here I’m pretty sure I did a post about it a few years back.

      It’s not just the number of holes that makes an impact , more so the total area which then drives the steam volume output.

      Cheers

        I found there was a slow drip coming from under the machine today. I pulled the side off and found a trickle of water coming from a stainless hose. After pulling it off and adding some plumbers tape, the trickle became a solid spray and I found a crack in this connection. Does anybody know what this part is called? I have been looking on coffeeparts but can't find the replacement.
