Edesia Espress Pre Modified Rancilio Silvia (V1/V2) Steam Wand/Arm For Your Gaggia

I've been a Gaggia classic owner for 10 years & now on my second machine. I would say I'm fairly expert at using it but I've always used the supplied steam wand which is pretty fool proof, but as other have said produces large bubbles of aireated milk. Time for an upgrade & after reading all the rave reviews I thought this is the one for me. Once you've found your spanner the change over takes about 1 minute, & as others have suggested I left the original seal in place and it's sealed perfectly. From the word Go i was disappointed.... Loud screeching from the steaming & the milk was, well milk with a tiny bit off foam on top that soon vanished when supping my cappuccino. I thought 'no leave the spanner alone' this is where YouTube can save me. A quick search & with a few tips I was producing perfect steamed creamy milk. 1. Fill milk to your usual level & use a thermometer if possible. 2. Once your coffee has brewed & your boiler is up to steam temperature, you must purge the wand with a few short bursts to clear any water. Place the tip of the wand about 1cm into the milk & the open the steam knob fully. 3. As you steam allow to tip to almost break the surface but not quite, if you're blowing large bubbles your wand is too high, do that for around 30 to 40 seconds, then lower the wand slowly into the milk remember to tilt your jug at an angle whilst doing this. If you can hear that high pitched screach you're too low too soon. Remember your milk should be around 70 deg when ready. Give it a little swirl in the jug once it's done & when you pour it will be of a creamy rather than milky consistently, & if you pour slowly enough your latte or cappichino will have a golden brown muffin top. P.s I noticed that one reviewer gave it a thumbs down & refitted his original wand but I think he made the same mistakes as I did.

This was really easy to fit - just unscrew the nut holding the Gaggia steamwand and replace with this. The supplied washer was redundant - you won't need it in the Gaggia. The steam that you get with this Rancilio steamwand is way better than the Gaggia steamwand and you steam milk as you would with the commercial espresso machines. Control over milk stretching is a lot better, unlike the Gaggia steamwand that yielded way too much froth and foam. Only wished it had four, rather than just one, spouts, as that would have spinned the milk even better, but for the money, this is a very good modification to improve your Gaggia.

Excellent upgrade to my Gaggia Classic. There is not much one can say about the product; it's well manufactured, fits the desired product and works very well one you get the hang of it. The rubber sleeve it a handy attachment when handling the hot wand and I like the simple, no frills design. For those used to the stock Gaggia Classic steam wand with the foaming attachment, this will feel strange for the first few uses. On touching liquid it emits a high-pitched shriek, banshee-like, which will send any cats in the household running for cover. Don't be alarmed! The secret is to place the tip of the wand j-u-s-t below the surface so that the shriek dampens whilst the milk gently rolls. You will need to practice but after a few attempts I had mastered it. The result are finer mircobbubles than one could get out of the old steam wand, with more control and precision. A word on installing; this is relatively simple but if unsure consult youtube. One negative is the fact that like others, the wand now drips water when turned to 'close' which it didn't before. I can only assume this is related to the fact that the part is not custom-built for the Gaggia Classic, and is solved by placing a small container under the tip. A minor irritation but nontheless, worth mentioning.

As recommended by many coffee forums, so purchased at the same time as my new Gaggia Classic. Very easy to fit, wish I could say the same about using it to froth milk. After a couple of months now lost patience and gone back to the original wand supplied with the machine. I can get the same results from this by pulling the lower sleeve off the wand and leaving just the the top part with the small hole to produce milk with microfoam. When I want extra frothy milk for a Cappuccino I just leave the lower sleeve on.

Took about 10 seconds to install even on my decade old machine, and works perfectly, although you should check a few YouTube videos before using it as you can easily end up with scalded milk or a foamy mess. Somehow it foams/heats the milk in about quarter of the time that the original Gagia wand takes, so PAY ATTENTION. I'm still not able to create perfect fleur de lys patterns in the microfoam, but it gives dependable, creamy rather than foamy milk at 6,30 every morning so that's good enough for me.

Simple install into my Gaggia Classic! You can practically do it completely by hand. You just remove the original steam wand (by loosening the nut at the top of the wand) and then replace it with this one. I didn't need the included rubber seal because my old steam wand's seal was stuck in the old assembly. Rather than trade it out, I just left it in and didn't use the rubber seal that came with this one. Took me less than 5 minutes. I'm surprised by how marked a difference it makes in my milk steaming. This upgrade was cheap and worthwhile.

This simple and cost effective upgrade has significantly improved the steaming capabilities of my three-year old Gaggia Classic. Installation took less than five minutes. With some initial practice milk can now be textured easily and more quickly to produce smooth micro-foam that has a "wet-paint" appearance. The taste of coffees has also been improved with better quality steamed milk. The wand has a slightly different size to the old parranello wand and cannot spin round a full 360 degrees, though I don't see this as an issue.

Perfecto para la Gaggia Classic. Se desenrosca el otro y se pone este. La arandela que trae es un poco gruesa con lo que he dejado la que traía la máquina.

Molto bello e fatto bene peccato che il bullone che serve a collegare l'erogatore al condotto del vapore ha un filetto di passo diveso da quello presente sul condotto del vapore. Indicate Gaggia.....dovreste indicare anche da che anno a che anno corrisponde.

Ce produit me paraissait plus professionnel que la buse ordinaire sur le Gaggia. Malheureusement cette buse fait un bruit d'enfer et ne fait aucune mousse! Elle chauffe par contre le lait très vite, mais oubliez le vrai cappuccino Italien.

Der Austausch geht super einfach, lediglich die alte Lanze abschrauben und die neue ran (ich habe eine Gaggia Classic). Das Erzeugen eines guten Milchschaums ist mit dieser aber schwieriger - man muss erst ein wenig Luft ziehen (ca 10 s vielleicht) und dann lediglich für weitere 20-30s die gezogene Luft unter die Milch mischen und die Milch erwärmen, aber keine neue mehr ziehen. Zieht man länger, wird der Schaum zu grobporig, zieht man kürzer, wird die Milch nur erwärmt, aber man hat keinen Schaum. Da ist die alte Lanze viel leichter zu bedienen, bzw. kann man da nichts falsch machen. Der Schaum wird aber (wenn man es richtig macht) mit der neuen um einiges cremiger, so wie es idealerweise sein sollte.
