Air intake nozzle for Nivona NICR 1040 coffee machines

What is the milk frother suction nozzle

The suction nozzle is a small plastic or metal part of the milk frother through which air is drawn in and mixed with milk and steam during milk foam preparation. It is the ratio of air to milk that determines how thick and smooth the resulting foam will be.

How to spot wear

• The foam is thin, unstable or does not form at all
• The coffee machine draws in milk irregularly or with strong bubbling and hissing
• The frother is clogged with dried milk and is hard to clean
• The texture or taste of the frothed milk has changed

Why replace the nozzle in time

A worn or damaged nozzle disrupts the correct air-to-milk ratio, which affects the quality of your cappuccino or latte. A clogged or cracked nozzle often cannot be cleaned back to working order, as it has lost the original shape of the opening needed for proper air intake.

How to choose the right part

Since nozzles vary in shape and size between different coffee machine models, please check compatibility in the product table before ordering.
