Hi there BX'ers, I just have a quick question for any of you La Marzocco Linea owners or users out there, I'm struggling with getting good results when steaming smaller quantities of milk and wondering what other Linea owners are setting their steam boiler pressure to.
I think I'm around 1.5 bar, which is probably about the max you'd want to go, but I'm just curious as to where you've found is good to achieve nice milk for single drinks.
Obviously the steam tip is a factor here as well, so any steam tip advice would be helpful as well, I've changed out the stock tips long ago but still can't achieve the same results on this machine as I can on many others.
Cheers Troy.

Brady I think you got the wrong end of the steam wand on this one though.
I'm totally open to the discussion going off-topic, but you've come off sounding a little hostile in your remarks and possibly misinterpreted something here.
I just found a diagram from LM which shows steam boiler water temperature at 110 degrees C at 1.4 Bar, whereas a single boiler is the same temperature at 1.2 Bar.
So to achieve the same steam dryness, LM requires a higher setting.
