Sigh. Shaun always makes me feel like the Grasshopper. I can pour a really nice 6 ounce latte, but I only aspire to something that small.
Anyway. I use the 2-hole isomac (small holes) and Shaun uses the 2- hole Gold Pro. They are nearly identical, and make excellent foam for anything latte size or smaller (Italian latte, not American swimming pool latte). The stock one-hole does a nice job, but as you said, takes a bit more "hand". Search on "tip experiment" and you'll find a lot of info. tx, bmc On Oct 26, 2009, at 3:21 PM, Shaun Taylor wrote: > > There are a few tips out there that I'd like to play with but if you > don't > want to try a bunch of experimentation and it's just good milk you are > looking for there have been some really solid threads on the subject > in the > archinves (quite a lot of work done by Ben) and the recommendations > made at > that time are good in my opinion.
