Steam Tap Assembly

What this part does

The Steam Tap Assembly is the component that controls the flow of steam from your coffee machine's boiler to the wand, letting you froth milk or heat liquids on demand. It typically includes the tap body, internal valve, and knob that you turn to open or close the steam flow.

Signs it needs replacing

Over time, the internal seals and valve mechanism inside a steam tap can wear out, leading to steam leaks, a stiff or loose knob, inconsistent steam output, or difficulty shutting off the flow completely. If you notice reduced pressure at the wand or steam escaping from around the tap housing even when closed, the assembly may need to be replaced.
