This essential component is engineered for professional baristas seeking maximum power and control during the steaming process. Featuring four precisely drilled holes, each with a 1.2mm diameter, this stainless steel tip delivers an optimized steam flow pattern that increases milk vortex efficiency.

The L178 steam tip is constructed from durable, high-grade stainless steel to resist corrosion and thermal shock, guaranteeing long-lasting performance in demanding café environments. Its precise specifications—4 holes at 1.2mm diameter—are ideal for use with high-capacity commercial espresso machine boilers, providing the necessary pressure and velocity for fast, efficient, and consistent milk stretching and texturing.

By generating a powerful, directional plume, the L178 helps to eliminate common "steaming problems," such as creating large, unusable bubbles or scalding the milk. This tip ensures every pour is smooth, glossy, and sweet, maximizing the quality of every cappuccino and latte. Invest in the Steam Tip, 4 Hole, D1.2, Stainless (L178) today to solve your "slow steaming speed" issue and unlock the full potential of your espresso machine.
