We tested the 13mod1 method on a La Marzocco Linea Mini with a standard 20oz pitcher. The results were… uncanny. The milk took an extra 4 seconds to reach temperature, but the finished latte held a rosetta with and a 1-point tail curl that resisted fading for over ten minutes.
The 13mod1 system works by letting you etch a base shape (via the stencil and cocoa “ink”) then free-pour through it. The stencil wheels are magnetic and attach to the mug’s rim. Pouring through the cutouts created surprisingly crisp outlines—e.g., a swan’s neck formed the guide for a free-pour body.
