The knob that puts the steam on the GB5 in your hand
The steam knob sits on the steam control of the GB5 X and S. It is touched with every milk drink and is one of the parts that look worn first. If the knob is cracked, rubbed bare or no longer grips the spindle, a new knob quickly brings the front back into shape.
The steam knob carries the number F.1.168.01. The part number is F.1.168.01.
When it is due
- The knob is cracked or worn.
- It spins freely and no longer grips the spindle.
- The surface is dull and rubbed bare.
- The knob is loose.

What goes with it
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
A steam knob that spins freely is often down to the spacer sleeve underneath – we check it at the same time when swapping. That is our routine, not a manufacturer's specification. Then we pull an espresso with Nutty Delight and check that everything is right – more in our coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are procured to order and cannot be resold after being installed or test-fitted on the machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a line and we will clarify the fit together. Your rights in the event of defective goods remain unaffected.
Is the steam valve included?
No, the knob is what is supplied. If needed, you can order the valve and spacer sleeve separately.
Does the knob fit the GB5 X and S?
The number F.1.168.01 is listed for the GB5 X and S. Tell us the serial number and we will check the fit.
