La Marzocco Steam Tip 4-Hole 1.5mm – Classic Steam Wand – Original Spare Part
Some movements simply live in the wrist – the slight tilt of the steam wand, the pitcher drifting until the swirl forms exactly where it should. That movement stays the same, but what happens at the end of the wand depends on one tiny part: the steam tip with its four openings.
On the classic steam wand, the 1.5mm version produces a somewhat broader, softer steam release than the 1.2mm variant – an option for anyone who prefers a slightly calmer steam pattern without losing power.
A small part with a noticeable effect
How fine or powerful the steam comes out is pure physics: the size and number of openings determine the exit speed and how much air works into the milk. Over time, fine limescale and milk deposits change this geometry slightly – the effect is barely noticeable at first, but becomes clearer with every further use.
Switching to a new original tip brings the classic steam wand back to its original character, without any intervention in the machine or the wand itself.

Who it's for
For anyone with a classic steam wand who prefers a somewhat broader steam pattern than the 1.2mm version, or whose current tip has lost performance. An easy swap that shows up directly in the milk texture.
Goes well with
For the milk itself, our milk pitchers are a good match – compact with Normcore, or more generously shaped with a Rhino or Weber Workshops pitcher. For regularly caring for the steam wand and machine, it's worth a look at our cleaning products. And for the whole machine, you'll find in our La Marzocco collection the right overview.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference to the 1.2mm tip?
The 1.5mm version creates a somewhat broader, softer steam pattern, while the 1.2mm tip works more focused and powerful. Both are made for the classic steam wand.
How do I know the steam tip needs replacing?
A weaker or uneven steam jet, as well as visible deposits in the openings, are the clearest signs that it's time for a swap.
How is the steam tip changed?
The old tip is unscrewed, the new one screwed straight on – a quick step, no special tools needed.
Can I see the product before buying?
Yes, in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can experience the original spare part live.
How quickly will the steam tip reach me?
Delivery takes 2–4 business days, throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
The Roastery Tip
A well-rounded steam pattern deserves an equally well-rounded espresso. Our main recommendation: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, aromatic, full-bodied. For maximum body with no acidity at all: Very Nutty. For anyone who wants to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, vibrant and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery, one of many.
