i just switched jobs. at my last gig, I worked on mistrals and probably made the best latte art i ever have. Now I'm back to a place with a marzocco fb80 and a synesso, and My art isn't quite as good. any think a steam tip switch might help?

True.

 

However, as I learned in another similar discussion a couple of months ago, this does not translate to a linear increase in pressure/power available at the tip. Sounds counter-intuitive, I know...

Thanks Ross! how're you?

Johnny, If you increase the steam boiler temps on the Synesso, you will see a corresponding increase in steam pressure.

In a closed vessel temp & pressure have a linear relationship. ie-if you increase steam boiler temp by 10%, the steam pressure will also increase by 10%.

can anyone tell me where to find info on chaning the boiler pressure for the steamwand of a synesso?

Juste receive it today!! juste one word. WOW

it going to make milk training really easy now

thanks espressopart

hey oliver, I bought the vortex, and the knyf. WOW. Vortex is amazing. The knyf is great too but it takes a really long time for lattes. I think the knyf is actually a little better  for caps and macs but it isnt that practical in a high volume place.
i got the knif aswell and i totally agree

If you don't want to shell out $70 or more for a tip, a solution I just found was to replace the stock tip (on my Aurelia, that is... LM parts are in more abundance I think) with one that was smaller and had a tighter hole pattern and slightly smaller holes. It makes steaming go more slowly, which may be your problem... now our machine is set up with one stock tip (for chai, as well as any drink above 12 oz.) and the smaller one for demis, maccs and small in-house lattes. Worked wonders. 

 

I'll be trying one of the Foam Knifes (Knives?) when they release a fitment for NS. In the meantime I'm doing OK with the standard smaller tip. 

can you explain this a ;ittle more?
