Frequently Asked Questions

What causes a steam tap to leak?

The silicone disc seal and O-rings inside the steam tap wear over time due to heat and pressure cycling. When the disc seal hardens or the O-rings degrade, the tap can no longer form a complete seal, causing steam or water to drip from the wand even when closed.

Can I rebuild the steam tap myself?

Steam tap rebuilds are a common maintenance task suitable for experienced technicians and advanced home baristas. The tap must be disassembled, old seals removed, and new seals fitted. Contact our Sydney-based team if you need assistance.
