    Re: Expobar Minore II - Steamwand Tip Replacement

    Cool thanks for that guys, so thats one for clockwise, one for anticlock-wise... Can anyone else confirm?

    I dont have a pic TG, its just the standard Minore II setup which I bought about 6 months ago-ish, so whatever comes from the factory is what I have.

    I may just get the machine serviced and have them change the wand tip for me. Is there a Expobar Service centre in Brisbane? (or a sponsor I can take my machine to so I can get it serviced?).

    If it is tight, wrap a cloth around wand and grab with pliers to avoid scratching.
    With another set of pliers you should be able to turn tip.
    I have played with a few Minores and am sure the tip comes of clockwise.
    Dont squeeze wand or tip to hard with pliers
    sponsor at left coffeeroasters.com.au carry parts and have 4 holed tips to suit minore.
    Could be tight due to burnt milk build up, if this is the case i would take wand off machine and soak. Then clean with pipe cleaner.
    dont soak the wand in jug whilst connected to the machine, you could end up contaminating the boiler.

    I put a cool touch wand on my Expobar Leva.
    The tip unscrews anti-clockwise.

    Do you have a picture of yours?

    Expobar Minore II - Steamwand Tip Replacement

    I need to replace/clean the steamwand tip on my Expobar Minore 2, can anyone confirm for me that the tip itself simply unscrews (anti-clockwise)? Or is it a case of removing the whole steamwand itself?

    I have tried a few times to unscrew it but to no avail and as it seemed so tight, I didnt want to force it without confirming it simply unscrews first!  If it makes any difference, I believe the steam wand is the cool touch type.

    I plan to replace it with a 2-hole steamtip available from Coffee Parts, does anyone know if these tips will fit correctly?

    Happy Sipping!
