Even milk foam starts with a clear wand
The Autosteam wand directs the steam to where it sets the milk in motion. It reaches full temperature with every use, dips into milk and is wiped down afterwards. Over the years, limescale builds up in the fine openings, and a clean jet turns into an unsteady hiss.
You can tell a bent or internally scaled tube by the foam: it becomes coarse, the pitcher takes longer and the temperature becomes uneven. The part number is T.2.142.
Descale first, then replace
Before you replace a wand, a thorough descaling and a cleaning of the openings is almost always worthwhile. Very often the jet comes back afterwards, and the part lasts for years. You can find suitable products in our Machine and grinder cleaning. Only when the tube is bent, damaged or permanently clogged inside is it time for a replacement.
When it is due
- The foam stays coarse, even after descaling.
- The steam jet is uneven or deflected to the side.
- The tube is bent, dented or damaged.
- There is limescale inside that can no longer be removed.

Important for installation
The wand is attached to a steam-carrying line that gets very hot during operation. That is why we do not provide step-by-step instructions. The machine must be depressurised and cooled down, and the replacement belongs in the hands of a qualified technician.
Who it is for
For businesses with Autosteam where the foam quality has declined, and for technicians who replace a damaged wand rather than repair it.
What goes with it
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
To descale steam wands, we hang them vertically in a tall container so that the solution really reaches all the way to the tip. Lying flat, half of the bore stays dry. This is our routine, not a manufacturer specification. Afterwards we steam a test pitcher and drink the cappuccino with Cozy Chocolate – more in our coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold after installation or test-fitting on the machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or send us a quick message and we will check the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Is the steam tip included?
No, you receive the wand. You order tips and gaskets separately.
Will it fit my machine?
The number T.2.142 is listed for Autosteam. Tell us the model and serial number and we will check the fit.
My foam has got worse – does the wand need to come out?
Not necessarily. First descale thoroughly and clean the openings. That is often enough.
How long does delivery take?
Across Switzerland and to Liechtenstein, usually 2-4 working days.
Can I see the part at your place?
Yes. We are in Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b.
