Thanks Michael, I will try your technique as well. For the previous post, do note that there are different two hole tips out there, even on Chris coffee website. One has two really large holes, just like the one from whole latte love. The one I use is the one with very small holes. That is also similar in size to the one that Shaunn referenced in his old posts (the gold pro one). There is also someone out there who I recalled drilled a third hole straight down the middle, and that sped up the steam to the level of the original one hole, or at least close to it.
