Do you know if the Isomac will fit the Brewtus directly or do you need that adapter that Chris Coffee sells? I would love the foam knife but I want to use this machine a bit more and see if there are some other issues waiting for me before springing for that much money for a frother tip. If this isomac can be better than the Expobar tips, I think I can make a go of it with that.
