As soon as I saw the video a couple of days ago, I wanted one.

My new toy arrived today from site sponsor E61 Espresso Machinery.
It was too well packed as I couldnt get it open fast enough to try it.
Seriously though it was packed in a cardboard box and well sealed with tape at all the opening edges.
Inside I found my new wand with a soft brass bristled brush already attached to the steam tip and a piece of silicon tubing slipped over it for protection.
There was also a small plastic bristled brush and two adapters for the end of the tubing attached to the brushs steam arm.
One for small and the other for medium/large steam tips.
There was also a selection of silicon tubing pieces to attach to the other end of the adapter and then your machines steam tip.
I was sent 2 of each size: S, M & L.
My Expobar tip needed the large sized tubing so I push the small end of the adaptor into the brushs tubing and the larger end into the large sized silicon tube.
I then pushed the large tube onto my steam arms tip and opened her up. Full steam ahead!!!!
Having already quickly checked if there was anything to clean in the group head (weekly clean is due on Sunday) I was not surprised to see brownish water dripping from the edges of the GH.
My GH is not spotless now as I only gave it a quick test and it has been quite some time since Ive given it a really good scrub.
However, I can see that regular use of this tool will keep the grime at bay.
I put the soft tip on and cleaned a few splash marks off the machine.
They vanished like magic.
If my steam arm was on the other side Id surely clean the sink with this thing.
Ooh, almost forgot, E61 included 100G OF E61 PREMIUM ESPRESSO CLEANER as theyd mentioned in their post (see link above).
This cleaning tool was as good as I expected it to be.
One small negative though. It does get HOT.
Even the thicker part that you hold soon gets too hot to handle.
I ended up wrapping a small cotton cleaning cloth around it to continue cleaning.
As my cleaning cloth is small, just the right size and always sitting under my machine, this is not a problem for me.
OVERALL:
Cleaning has never been this much fun!!!
