Re: IKON steam tip broken off due to overtightening
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.

Now to find a new tip. Smiley

Re: IKON steam tip broken off due to overtightening
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.

Re: IKON steam tip broken off due to overtightening
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
