Weber Workshops Steam Dial – variable orifice steam tip
The steam tip is one of the most overlooked parts of an espresso machine. How much milk is in the pitcher, how big the steam boiler is, how wide the tip's opening is – all of this determines how fine the foam turns out. The Steam Dial puts exactly that opening in your hands: with the ring, you adjust the amount of steam steplessly.

What the Steam Dial does
Instead of a tip with a fixed drilled hole, the Steam Dial has a variable opening. This lets you match the steam to your machine and the amount of milk: opened wider for more steam with larger amounts, narrower for fine control with small amounts. It helps the milk roll evenly and makes the path to fine microfoam easier to follow.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Weber Steam Dial fit my machine?
The base thread is 1/8 BSPT with 28 TPI (male) and fits directly on, among others, many La Marzocco GS3, Nuova Simonelli Oscar and Slayer. Suitable adapters are available for many other machines. Check the thread specification of your steam tip before buying.
Do I need an adapter for the Steam Dial?
Only if your machine's thread does not match the base thread. Choose the right adapter for your machine from the table above.
Does the Steam Dial automatically make better milk foam?
It gives you more control over the amount of steam. Good milk and technique remain decisive; the Steam Dial makes adjusting easier and more repeatable.
Where can I buy the Weber Steam Dial in Switzerland?
At Coffee Coaching Club, the official Swiss importer of Weber Workshops. Online with delivery in 2–5 working days or via Click and Collect in Bern and Zurich.
Can I see the product before buying?
In our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) we show a wide selection, but not the entire range. Write to us at [email protected] before your visit and we will check whether the product you are interested in is on site.
Tip from the roastery: On small machines with a weaker boiler, a narrower opening helps: you gain time to roll the milk cleanly. On powerful machines, the opening can be wider. For milk drinks with a dense, chocolatey body, most of us reach for Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight, and for maximum body without acidity, Very Nutty. That is our recommendation, one of many.
