two steam wand tips with different hole sizes

Coffee machine steam tip hole sizes

Is your steam wand super aggressive?

Is your steam pressure gauge sitting where it should be (around 1-1.2 bar) but you’re struggling to control the milk while steaming?

Try a different steam tip. Look for one that has either smaller diameter holes or less holes.

Depending on the model of espresso machine you have, there's more than likely several different options to try. Steam tips are not universal but a lot are interchangeable between models. 

The goal is to restrict the steam and give you more control.
