Once you have the adapter you are able to fit most 10mm steam tips to the Brewtus Cool wand arm :-). I have tried out a few and am always keen to try out new ones.
I tried out the 2 hole Isomac tip from CC and found it dead easy to make microfoam with but a bit slow for my liking. I then switched to a 3-hole Rancilio Silvia tip which I found to be a little more tricky but a whole load faster (I did timing in a previous email to the list). I am currently using a 5-hole tip from a Reneka which is very fast (about the same speed as the Std 2-hole tip) but still able to produce micro-foam with some practice N.B. I have closed of the central hole on this tip so it is now a 4-hole tip and the thread is different to the adapter thread so once you have it onto the tip it aint coming off again :-). Don;t know if I would buy another Reneka tip as it was quite expensive. I am keen to try a La Marzocco tip to see if the Bretwus has enough steam to run it. I have found that it is difficult to micro-foam if the boiler pressure drops below +-.8bar so too many big holes seem to be a problem. I reckon a 4-hole tip with small holes would be ideal, would like to be able to find something that fits a bit better than the Reneka tip.
