For anyone wishing to modify their delonghi steaming wand - this is an amazing piece. Does a great job for its price and turned out to even speed up the steaming process. The tip was a little hard to unscrew when taking the nut off, so make sure you have a key. You do need to take apart your coffee machine to install it, but there’s a youtube video by Tom’s Coffee Corner where he puts it in and explains the process along the way which was turned out to be very helpful. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase and the results

I love my Gassia Classic; it's a coffee beast. I didn't think it could be improved but this cheap and simple modification has made it even better. I would almost say this is an essential upgrade to the steam wand which comes as standard. It's not difficult to get great results with the wand and there are a couple of videos on YouTube which guide you through the installation as well as how to get the perfect results once it's on. Very pleased with the purchase and the results.

Bought this as a replacement for the poor plastic delonghi foamer. It's quite a powerful improvement! At first it's a bit of a learning curve, but 6/7 coffees later and you'll have picked up the knack of foaming those cappuccino milks to perfection. If I could find a way to improve the amount of steam the machine outputs, it'd be even better. The assembly is the trickiest bit. Pushing the plastic socket part around the metal bends is tricky, so I'd recommend some rubber/electrical gloves to make it easier. Once it's on, not too tricky to complete the rest - check youtube for videos. I did have the rubber steam hose pop-off the top of the wand, so a stronger clip or potentially a drop of super-glue might be wise before sealing the machine shut. I'd be interested to see how others have remedied this. Will update in a few months to see how it's going.

Works for Gaggia Classic RI9403/11 super easy! I was skeptical because if you’re reading this you may be simular and find yourself owning the most awkward version of the Gaggia Classic Series. It works and it’s great massive improvement

I've managed to fudge it by replacing the useless plastic one that came with my built in smeg coffee machine. It's a tad loose so I need to do something crafty to secure it. However, it is a massive improvement. Really great frothewr. Nice, cheap and works. Thumbs up from me.

This is great. It is a bit fiddly to install. On Gaggia Classic you will need to wrestle the nut off the original steam wand. I had to bend the metal to get it off. You then need to get the original nut onto the Racilio. This means wrestling off the black rubber twist grip, which is a pain. However none of this is rocket science. And it is worth doing. Note that if as other posters say you dunk the tip of this wand deep in the milk all you will get is warm milk. You need to dip the tip just under the surface. This is not a matter of ‘perfecting your technique’ - you will figure it out after about ten seconds.

I bought three of these to replace the standard wands on different DeLonghi models. I initially bought a cheap one from that auction site and very quickly realised that in this case you do get what you pay for. The cheap one was a nightmare to clean between uses, there are no similar issues with these. Fitting to a Delonghi EC685 wasn't easy but with the help of you tube I managed it without too much swearing. Fitting to a Magnifica Smart S was much more straight forward. So much easier to froth the milk as I like it.

This wand works well as a Gaggia Classic upgrade. The install was quick and took under five minutes. No drilling or major effort needed, I just used a hammer to gently bend the old wand so the nut could come loose. After that, the replacement went on without any issues. Steam performance is noticeably better.

分解して取り付けるとの情報があったので購入を躊躇っていましたが覚悟を決めて購入しました。 思っていたより簡単に換装出来て純正より使いやすく交換して良かったです。 チップの継ぎ目から少し蒸気が漏れたので一応シールテープで巻いておきました

Used this for my gaggia classic pro. Worked great. Much needed upgrade

De momento he podido hacer la sustitución de la varilla sin problema y funciona muy bien. Tres orificios para que salga el vapor y sale con fuerza y equilibrado.
