I even stated that you will trash the microfoam, so it is not recommended by me (or any other sane person). That easily demonstrated fact makes the whole O H & S thing irrelevant anyway, as only a complete idiot with no concept of using an espresso machine would remove the wand in any other way (cue to the person who wrote that part of the Sunbeam manual...).
Any barista worthy of the name would have been trained the same way I was (I hope) so when you hear the steam pressure start to drop you remove the wand along the line of steam flow. If you get your timing correct you do not even leave a mark on the surface of the microfoam as the steam pressure hits zero at the same time the wand reaches the surface. Basic "know your machine 101".
As a side note, I expect people to read my posts with due care, as a quick glance may lead to erroneous conclusions.
