steam frother on coffee gaggia   Message List

Re: steam frother on coffee gaggia

Perfectly! You might have to straighten the wand from the Gaggia to get the nut
off; otherwise it's a matter of removing one wand and attaching the other.

Good luck,
Tex

coffee gaggia has got some issues off late. I still have the original frother. I
want to change it to the sylvia wand. Appreciate if I can get a pointer on where
I can get it and the procedure to replace the original gaggia one on the
machine.

Basically, I was able to froth the milk without any issues in a single stretch.
Now for the same amount of milk, after some time of frothing, the steam runs
out. I have to turn off the steam knob and wait till the light goes green. Any
reason why this can happen and what to do with this please?
