Been using this hack for a long time now, just use a zip-tie to secure the rubber thing from shooting off into the hot milk at high pressure or you’re gonne have a terrible time 😂 but with a little practice, you can really blow some minds with how great you can texture milk and make espresso with a real basket!
Haha did the same exact thing after experimenting this morning, even down to the ziptie. Milk came out much better though so guess the initial explosion was worth it 😂
My delonghi wand cover has a little additional function that either does foam or “hot milk”. It’s a sliding cover that locks in one of two positions. The hot milk button likely exposes airflow back into the steaming wand

It's an automatic steam wand, so you don't have to stretch the milk first, and then encorporate the foam, just stick it in fully, and air gets incorporated through it. Of course, the proper method will yield nicer microfoam, but it's for simpler usage.
The same on most budget machines. Take the outer case off and works so much better. Some cases come with a hole in the top that can help texture milk but they all work so well without it.
Oh my god thank you. I make aerocanos (iced americano, steamed to create foam, almost like a nitro cold brew) for my fiancé all the time, for which the metal part is perfect, but when I actually want to steam milk it’s way too foamy. Can’t wait to try this
Well, that's the whole point. To make foam. Sometimes you might need it more then you can get from regular steamed milk. Also it helps when you dont want to heat up the milk to much. And before someone comment something like "the bubbles are too big", that's why you "polish" the milk. To get rid of bigger bubbles
What about those really big plastic steam wands? The short, thick cylinder ones. I want to try steaming milk, but I don't know how to do it since all the videos on the topic use the long thin wands
If its the one with a large hole, the. What you’re supposed to do it just stick it into the pitcher and let it run. All it will do is produce lot’s of foam. You need to figure out how to isolate the nozzle. Naturally, you should be able to pop it off given that it’s supposed to be the most cleaned part of an espresso machine.
I didn’t even need this short for this tip. As soon as I got that cheap Delonghi, it was the first thing I did. Secondly, I added a zip tie to the rubber nozzle because it kept on popping off.
I don't know who needs to see this but if you can stretch to something like The Duo Temp Pro, you'll thank yourself later for not cheaping out. Also you can focus on the quality of the steaming than worrying about the size of the wand.
It’s called Panarello steam wound, Designed for those who have zero interest in learning how to use a professional steam wand, people like this do exist.
THANK YOU I thought I was a dumbass for being unable to steam using the wand. Tried frothing with the wand cover off, still have a lot of room for practice.
Once you pop it off don't forget to put a wire-tie around the top of the rubber if not it's going to blow off, cause a mess and perhaps even burn you. It truly is an awesome hack. 👌🏻
I have a steaming wand on my delonghi primadonna elite but I mostly use the big carafe steamer (don't know what it's called) but it makes foam which is almost like whipped cream.
I tried replacing my steam wand since day one on a cheap machine that has that trashy wand. I figured out the weird secret to proper milk so it’ll be fun to have to relearn when I get a real steam wand
I have se cheap coffee machine from some catering company or what called adexa, was £80 and is good enough. And i did the exact same and getting perfect milk every time. Just have to learn to pour consistently 😅
I just bought that exact model and this tip helped me a lot! Thanks! Also any recommendation of which porta filter to buy in order to upgrade it? Should I just buy a bottom less filter o what do I need exactly? Thanks again!
I had a cheap machine from Walgreens in college that had a plastic cover over the steam wand. It must definitely felt superfluous and i never kept it on.
The cheap espresso machine I have also has one of those outer casing. It increases the volume way too much way too quick. I tried steaming without and it actually can give rotation to milk inside but it stays short as yours.
Reporting again as someone liking my comment reminded me of this comment. Yesterday I tried again with the thing on if I was not skilled enough back then as I improved just a little. I tried it and the volume was increased by foaming up in 2-3 seconds. Took it out instantly. I think those are added for wider range of customers who might not want to fiddle with adding air in and turning the milk inside to distribute the air. Also those customers might value the amount of foam more than the ability to texture the milk.
Well, the problem is if you put it off, at least with my dedicate EC685. The thing just explodes what I mean with that well wild steaming the upper part of the steamer just well, it would be wrong to say it drops of you, hear loud sound, and then it’s somewhere on the other end of the room
Had a Manigifica a decade ago. Hated the wand. Just got dried milk on it and milk would get scolding hot with a tiny bit of froth. Have the Eletta Explorer now. Automatic with a milk carafe. Nothing gets dirty/baked on with a carafe and 100% all froth.
The rubber tip kept popping off without the metal cover while I would steam milk, I had a Delonghi espresso machine for about a month and ending up returning it because of this, I liked the machine otherwise
i modified my delonghi and gave it a nice metal wand. My foam is creamy and silky, so much so that I have trouble finding a place where the cappuccino can still satisfy me.
I’m smelling the rubber when I remove the silver wand. Is there any chance the metal helps distribute/ conduct the heat away from the rubber a little? (Not sure of the science, so thought I’d ask in case anyone knows!)- thanks for the video & hack though, I’ve only tried it a couple of times and haven’t found the right angle yet to stop the foam, so need more practice!
Be careful though, some models will have the rubber part shoot off of it if you use it without the cover, made this mistake when trying this hack the first time and I got hot milk absolutely everywhere.
I don’t know why delonghi don’t care about milk texturing , their steam wand is basically a foam wand
Its made solely to make cappuccinos not for latte art.
Because they know how it should be, it’s Italian but Americans don’t even know how to make a cappuccino, they just make a bowl off milk with something that should be espresso which they also don’t have a clue how to make
Arte
Its made to foam quickly, not perfectly
It's $85
If you're removing the metal tip PLEASE secure the rubber wand with a zip tie very well
Steam could make it pop out and you can get burned!
no

Precisely this, the plastic/metal casing has a little air intake to shoot air to anywhere in the milk
Yeah but I dont use it because it’s terrible when it comes to making micro foam, and you need that foam for texture and latte art.
it makes giant bubbles not microfoam
Awwww wow you just blew my mind and fixed my issue with my De'Longhi ❤ thank you!!!!
The same on most budget machines. Take the outer case off and works so much better. Some cases come with a hole in the top that can help texture milk but they all work so well without it.

Omg thank you for this. I literally was steaming mink a day before i saw this. Going to try it again!
Use a cable tie around the neck to ensure it doesn’t shoot off when the rubber gets looser
Used a cable tie, it still flew off lol
I just got a expresso machine today and i watched so many tutorials still had the same problems this was a game changer
Dude I have the same machine and did this too. Makes a difference. Also this little machine pulls such great shots. Super good value.
How long do you pull shots for?
Omg that's exactly what I do! I did it the first day I got the machine and never went back. I love it now.
omg i’ve always wondered if i was the problem with my delonghi. although mine’s rubber thing isn’t as long as yours
I did the same thing with mine. Steams really well now
yep, works for the DeLonghi Dedica as well
Thank you! The cover was ruining all my milk attempts they were practically exploding out of the cup
Hey! to people who try this put a zip tie around the rubber bit close to the nut on top. It can pop off at high speed and make a mess.
Omg, I have the same machine, and because of that fat steamer, I gave up drinking latte at home. Now I can make latte! Thanks!!!❤
it amazes me how baristas take coffee to a science level experience

Might wanna reinforce with a zip tie depending on your model. I was steaming milk this way and part of wand shot out spraying hot milk everywhere.
@@theebadge thanks for the tip! I reinforced it with the zip tie as suggested.
Dude... Thank you! I'm trying this tomorrow! I've been trying to figure this out and how to not end up with 2/3 being foam. 😂
Here in Italy we are used to have a very airy milk foam on our cappuccinos.

so true and sometimes with the metal frother it makes it clogged I noticed overtime even when wiping it with a cloth
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for this!
It’s called Panarello steam wound,

THANK YOU I thought I was a dumbass for being unable to steam using the wand. Tried frothing with the wand cover off, still have a lot of room for practice.
The steam wand is for foam. Also, if you can remove it it's easier to clean it

Huh. Didn’t know that piece came off. Thank you

I actually enjoy a lot of foam
Exactly. I popped it off immediately after buying delonghi dedica
Try dunking the wand all the way in once warm enough lift it near the surface for foam
They put it on there because casual customers use it for Latte Macchiato which needs stiffer foamier foam.
I have se cheap coffee machine from some catering company or what called adexa, was £80 and is good enough. And i did the exact same and getting perfect milk every time. Just have to learn to pour consistently 😅
Did the same on my dedica and ECP
Tho i did put on a ziptie on top to keep it from exploding away from the wand
What bottomless portafilter did you buy? Link please!
Did this and it exploded 🎉
Thank you! Gonna try it it now!
I did this once, and in the end the nozzle, along with hot steam, shot into my hand
It popps of while steaming with my delongi dedica
Capuccino made the Italian way is extremely foamy. That's why the DeLonghi is made like that.
Thanks for that!

It can pop off without the metal cover. I almost burned the shit out of myself doing this a while back

I think the only reason why they have it is to protect the tip from damage
It makes amateurish steaming easier for people who don't want to try a steeper leaning curve
Whats your opinion on De'Longhi espresso dedica coffee machine?
You can't take the cover off because it holds the rubber straw from blowing off

I love foam
I mean if you want alot of foam, just slip it back on. I'd like to think they designed it like this
I think you can move the red ring to secure the rubber wand so it won’t shoot off😅
You know you can get the same texture with the cover on right? I literally just did it.
It's short but It has a good personality ok?
Cool !! I don’t need a cable tie to fix the nozzle then !!!

The problem is, as soon as I remove it, my coffee mashime gets as loud as a starting plane🤣
More obsessed with garnishing with milk vs mixing it in for the right tone and flavor, lol
Where did you get that wooden handle? Very interested
Be careful though, some models will have the rubber part shoot off of it if you use it without the cover, made this mistake when trying this hack the first time and I got hot milk absolutely everywhere.
If I take the metal off the rubber bit pops off with the pressure
You need to put a cable tie just below the red ring to secure it. Tom’s coffee has a video on modding.
Yay a coffee machine I own 🤣😂
Shouldn't you begin from the base and then move upward until it reaches temperature?
What basket / portafilter upgrade can I get with this machine?? I haven’t found any good coffee accounts that review it
Where did you buy your portafilter please
When I pull the silver wand off, there is only a short nub wand. ☹️
I have noticed mine injects about 4-6oz of water everytime I turn it to steam, can’t figure it out…????
Yeah, when I remove the metal cover the steam wand shoots the tip into the milk, be careful guys I have scaleded my finger with this off
The issue with my delonghi is the metal cap holds the plastic in place, without it, it's a hazard and could pop off
