STEAM WANDS
After steaming milk, clean the exterior of the steam wand by wiping it
thoroughly with a damp towel, then clear its interior by briefly allowing
steam to flow.
If the steam wand tips clog, soak in hot water for several minutes, then
briefly engage steam with wand submerged. For tough clogs, use an
approved espresso machine steam wand cleaner.
