Steam wand spits water and very little steam

Safety first: Be cautious of hot water and steam. Keep hands clear of the nozzle.

• Preheat longer: Allow the machine to fully reach steam temperature. Wait for the steam-ready indicator before opening the steam knob.
• Purge water: Open the steam valve into an empty jug for 10–15 seconds to expel condensation before frothing milk.
• Clean nozzle: With the machine OFF and cooled, remove and clean the steam tip.
• Descale: Run a descaling cycle focusing on the steam circuit.
• If issue persists: The steam thermoblock or sensor may be failing and should be checked by a technician.
