    Scottishrambo,

    Where are you located ?

    I have a dead Ikon about to go in the bin. I might be able to help you with the steam tip. 

    I also have the ESP4 unpressurised baskets and tamper to fit, which will go to pay it forward if you dont want them.

    I kept the dead Ikon after upgrading 12 months ago thinking I might try and fix it to use at work, but alas I have not had the time. Bin time soon.

    Im in Redfern in Sydney.

    Well wouldnt you know it, stuck a pair of scissors in the steam wand and unscrewed the piece of thread out. Now to find a new tip. Smiley
    Good job... now refer back to my first response as a starting point (Breville spares).

    Haha yeah, im the kind of person that attempts to fix intricate parts and ends up ruining everything. I tried removing the whole steam arm from the ball joint, but it wouldnt budge and i didnt wanna completely strip the nut.

    Maybe ring Breville spares. I reckon if youre not overly handy, it may be simpler to replace the entire steam arm.

    I would imagine removing the remnants of the tip only would involve trying to carefully drill it out... but Im one of the ones who would consider myself "not overly handy" ;D

    The thread of the steam tip has is screwed in and the tip itself has snapped off. Any ideas on how to remove the steam tip thread? Also, where I can get another steam tip that fits?
Working...
