Turbo Pannarello milk Frother steam Wand Black for ESPRESSO Saeco, Gaggia

It took me some time to find a replacement. So happy to find this one. Once again, I have frothed milk with my expresso!

I added this attachment to my Saeco Royal. This turned in my old espresso maker into a top of the line milk steamer. You do t have to be a barista to make absolut perfect macchiatos. Each one turns out perfect. Pro tip: get a double insulated clear macchiato glass such as a delionghi.

this wand is the EXACT wand that came with my 4 year old Gaggia Classic. [the newest Gaggia model has a redesigned frother, so if you wait long enough, it may be available after market] this dern thing it is already losing it's "turbo" steaming capability in 2 short weeks. i believe the design is crap. once the wand gets caked up with milk remnants, they cease to turbo.and the wand bottom is attached by a thin red rubber gasket that begins to fail shortly after getting heated and wet. then the entire wand can just pull off the top, meaning there is less and less suction, and less turbo functionality with every single use. ugh. these wands are for ppl who do not know how to froth milk, and unfortunately they make those of us having used the straight metal tip for 30 years feel handicapped by it. it doesn't work at the top of the foam pitcher to heat milk for solo consumption, you must use it to hear the ENTIRE pitcher of milk. so, i go through a lot more milk this way as a single person b/c milk once heated a few times will sour. if i could only heat what i needed for my latte/cappuccino, i could resuse the same milk in the pitcher for 5 days or until it's almost gone. the entire point of frothing is to warm AND foam the milk, but this dern thing warms from the bottom up. so unless you need an entire pitcher of froth, keep searching. if the actual silver metal wand were longer, i wouldn't need the stupid turbo tip b/c i can froth via technique alone, meaning it tastes better b/c it is warm and thick.

Installed on Gaggia Amina Deluxe with guidance from Amazon Tech Support.Product works as advertised, BUT when cleaning after use the entire replacement wand detaches not just the exterior part which should detach with a simple downward tug. There is nothing to hold the entire assembly on the steam tube. If your fingers happen to slip and you touch the tube, it's scalding hot!Duhhhh steam just passed thru. The result = blistered fingers.. Solutions 1. Don't buy an auto espresso machine with auto frothing feature. 2. Dont buy this product. 3. Or you can wait 45 min before cleaning.

This pannarello is so much better than the original that came with my Saeco Vienna Plus. This makes such beautiful foam and so quickly. I don't even have to slosh the milk around or change the height and depth of the device to make great foam. The biggest issue is that it foams so well and creates a dense creamy foam that it fills up the cup or mug you are using and threatens to crawl up the device and onto the machine. The thick milk foam is able to be stacked quite high on top of a drink and allows for creative formations and designs with no trouble. I would replace what I have with this if you haven't already. Great design.

Arrived promptly and works beautifully!

Works just like original, which was fine until a gasket clamp disintegrated. We get good steaming & foam with it.
