SEAL WAND WRAP

What is the steam nozzle seal

The steam nozzle seal is a small rubber or silicone ring that seals the joint between the steam wand and the coffee machine's body. Its job is to prevent steam and hot water from escaping outside the nozzle, so that all the pressure is used for frothing milk or heating.

Typical signs of wear

A worn or hardened seal shows itself through steam leaking from the joint, a weaker or irregular steam flow, hissing, or water dripping around the nozzle. Frothing milk takes longer and the resulting foam is of lower quality, because pressure escapes outside the nozzle.

Why you shouldn't put off the replacement

A leaking steam nozzle means a loss of pressure and energy, longer preparation time for beverages, and a risk that escaping steam or water will damage nearby parts of the coffee machine. Replacing the seal is a simple and inexpensive fix that restores the full performance of the steam function.

How to choose the right seal

Steam nozzle seals differ in size and shape depending on the specific coffee machine model, so always check compatibility in the product table before purchasing.
