What is a steam valve

The steam valve is a part of the milk frother that regulates the flow of steam from the boiler to the nozzle. By opening and closing, it allows you to control the strength and amount of steam needed to froth milk. It is often accompanied by a control knob or lever, or sometimes the nozzle itself.

Signs of wear

A worn or damaged valve shows itself through steam leaking even when not in use, controls becoming stiff or too loose, an uneven steam flow, or a complete loss of sealing. Milk is then frothed unevenly, or steam continues to escape even after the valve is closed.

When it's time for a replacement

A leaking valve increases water and energy consumption, puts strain on the boiler and can lead to faster wear of other frother components. Timely replacement restores smooth and safe steam control and extends the lifespan of the entire milk frothing system.

How to choose the right part

Steam valves differ in shape, method of control, and whether they include a nozzle or just the valve itself. Before buying, check compatibility with your coffee machine in the product table.
