La Marzocco Heat Shield for Classic Steam Wand GS3 – Genuine Spare Part
The GS3 wears its technology openly – the group head sits in plain view, nothing hides behind panelling. The steam wand follows the same spirit: clear, direct, with a heat shield that never tries to be more than it needs to be.
The GS3's dual boiler keeps coffee and steam temperature stable independently of each other, which gives the steam wand a consistently high temperature during frothing. That consistency is one reason the GS3 is so valued in home kitchens – and one reason an intact heat shield on the wand makes itself felt in daily use.
A small part for a big everyday experience
Heat receptors in the skin react sensitively to temperature differences – even small deviations are perceived as noticeably warmer or cooler. A heat shield that has lost its tension or become porous changes exactly that feeling when you grip the wand, even though the machine itself keeps working exactly as before.
The genuine heat shield for the GS3 is matched exactly to its steam wand and can be replaced without tools.

The roastery tip
A machine like the GS3 deserves beans with just as much character. Our main recommendation: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, aromatic, full-bodied. For maximum body with no acidity at all: Very Nutty. For anyone wanting to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery, one of many.
