John, I bought a three hole tip w/adapter for a Silvia from WLL.(adapter not
used) It is quite large. Is this the one you refer to? Can you steam about 3-4
oz milk sucessfully? Dennis

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.

You need the adapter from Chris. You can also get the isomac small 2-hole
tip from Chris, which almost identical to the Gold Pro, and then you don't have
to pay the setup fee at 1st Line. Search "tip experiment" in the archives for
more info on all this.

For those using the goldpro tip on a Bretus II, did you have to buy the
little female to male adapter? Or is there a new version of the tip that works
with the Brewtus II directly. The on I saw on 1st line has a female end, but I
saw an adapter at ChrisCoffee that looks like it would work.

I have been using the goldpro tip and it is unreal how easy it is to
make microfoam. Better than the 1hole Brewt tip by far. If you live in
Canada like me it is a gong show to try to get one but well worth the
trouble. As far as the two hole tip it is almost imposible to get foam
unless you are doing larger amounts of milk(10+oz)...it just happens
to quick otherwise. Good luck
