The small part that completes the Linea Mini knob
On the Linea Mini, the two rotary knobs for steam and water sit clearly visible on the front. On top of each knob is a cap that hides the screw. It is small, but you notice straight away when it is missing.
This cap has the part number F.1.053. It covers the knob screw and keeps water and milk residue out of the thread – a penny item with a surprising effect on the overall look of the machine.
When it is due
A replacement is worthwhile if you notice any of these:
- The cap is missing and the screw is exposed.
- It no longer holds and comes off when you wipe it.
- It has a crack or a chipped edge.
- Limescale and milk residue have built up under the cap.

Who it is for
For everyone with a Linea Mini who wants to replace a missing cap – and for anyone making their machine complete again before selling it.
What goes with it
From our workshop
When we service a Linea Mini in Bern or Zurich, we take these caps off and check the screw underneath for limescale – it takes two minutes and saves a stripped thread later. Our routine, not a manufacturer requirement. Then an espresso to fine-tune, ideally with Nutty Delight.
Returns excluded
Original spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold after installation or a test fit on the machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a quick message and we will clarify the fit together. Your rights in the event of defective goods remain unaffected.
