Stainless Steel Steam Wand for Rancilio Silvia (V1/V2) Espresso Machine with Single and Triple Hole Tip Nozzle

I have the Pannarello steam wand broken the 3rd times and decided not to buy the same anymore, though it's good to use but touched the hot steam everyday will shorten its life obviously. I believed this MacMaxe wand is originally for Rancilio Silvia but can be replaced the Pannarello easily as well, so a long way from the States to Taiwan, it's pretty worth the waiting. You'll need one each 12mm and 9mm wrench to detach and install the steam wand from Gaggia, and don't forget the rubber o-ring inside, the 9mm for installing the nozzle. 3 holes nozzle has a more average steam to compare with the traditional one hole, Voilà!

Includes all necessary parts. Was installed on my Delonghi Stilosa. Note that you may need to source a worm drive clamp as my stilosa had a single use clip on the stock steam wand.

Perfect replacement for Gavin classic espresso machine looks close to factory, and the steam wand is the right height and finish. Bolt was the right size could be a little bit more polished, however. Look forward to making lattes with this well working @ long lasting wand. One thing cleaning could be easier but not hard. Makes no difference in taste just texture. A standard steam wand (like on newer Classic Pro or an upgraded wand like this) gives you direct control over air and steam, allowing finer microfoam and advanced milk texture, but it takes skill to use well.

Works much better than the original rubber wand with lots more steam! Have to relearn the position for the best micro foam but happy with it. The pain was installing the wand, I ended up widening the plastic holder so that I could get it on. Someone said its not easy to clean, try using vinegar. Cleans up excellent! Will see after months of use. So far pleased.

Could not install this as the mounting nut is smaller than what's on the machine. Design looks good, but the pipe diameter is a lot smaller than the original, so it would look funny. Great customer service though as the refund was processed immediately.
