    I'd highly recommend plumbing it in if you can. Not only will you save the hassle of re-filling the tank, but pre-infusion only works if it's plumbed in.

    Metal spinning on metal doesn't bother me but I guess some can be a bit squeamish about it.

    Yeah, I always give it a good purge. You could be right about the tips not being right with the teflon removed. With it removed all but 2 hole are kinda controllable, but seem to require very different techniques. Its really frustrating. I'll persist with one of the tips for a few months and...

    I tried cocktail stick blocking off one of the 3-holes and it just seemed weird, very little pressure at all and blowing out at a funny angle. Will try modulating the steam with the two hole again. Is this the Motta jug you have...

    Personally I don't think people should be allowed to breathe in coffee shops either. Some people have terrible breath and who wants to inhale stinky second-hand breath? Do it outside.

    Interesting thread as I too have recently started adding broken up spent coffee pucks to the soil of plant pots. Thing is, some of them had already grown a little mould on them while in the knock box. After breaking them up and putting them on top of the soil the entire top layer turned mouldy...

    These are the tips that came with the machine. The two hole one has much larger diameter holes than the other 3 and when I use it the steam is so powerful I and up loosing a load of of milk out the top of the jug! I didnt get this mega-pressure with the two-hole before I removed the teflon tube...

    Sorry, what I meant was that a small flat white and a piccolo require the right about of milk for the 300ml jug, but if I'm just trying to make a small flat white using the same technique I end up with large bubbles and not much microfoam. I'll try closing the steam valve a little as you...

    This is one of the dobboco ones from amazon. Seems pretty level.

    Hoping for some help with my frothing technique in a 300ml jug (alex duetto III with a 3 hole steaming tip and the teflon sleeve removed from the wand). When I fill up the milk to the bottom of the spout inside the jug, with my current technique I am achieving fairly good and consistent results...

    Thanks All GCGlasgow, the coffee scene is alive and kicking here, some would say a bit saturated as competition is intense. Cafes serving average coffee don't last long. The chain coffee shops like starbucks struggle as only tourists go to them hotmetal, Thanks! Got a lot to learn but if I...

    Anyone tried these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dobboco One is like the ONA distibuter with adjustable height and the other an adjustable tamper so that you could set the depth to get the tamp level.

    Love it!

    Mine made this kind of of noise when when the mains pressure was too low. I appreciate yours isn't plumbed in but could be a blockage or kink in a pipe restricting the flow?
