Has anyone tried changing the whole steam arm on the Brewtus? Was wondering if this is perhaps the reason for slower steam performance on the Brewtus than some of it's competitors. Would make sense considering that the cool wand is lined with a plastic pipe which I would imagine is a lot more restrictive than the larger diameter steel pipe found in the "hot" steam arms.
