Steam Wand Tip (1-Hole/4-Hole)
The steam wand tip serves as the final hydrodynamic restriction point. Residual milk from the frothing process is drawn into the tip via vacuum effect as the wand cools; subsequent heating cycles denature the milk proteins and lipids, creating a thermoplastic-like organic plug that seals the orifice.

Steam Solenoid Valve
This electromechanical valve directs pressurized steam from the thermocoil to the wand. Mineral calcification (calcium carbonate) precipitates out of the heated water and accumulates on the valve seat or plunger, preventing the mechanical opening of the steam path and resulting in a total perceived blockage.

Thermocoil Heat Exchanger
The thermocoil utilizes narrow stainless steel tubing to flash-heat water into steam. In regions with high water hardness, scale flakes can bridge the internal diameter of the tubing, creating a physical mineral obstruction that restricts flow before it ever reaches the external wand assembly.
