Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the steam on my Lavazza machine too weak?

Weak steam means the boiler is not reaching full pressure or the wand is partly blocked. Weak or missing froth on a Lavazza usually means a dirty steam wand, wet steam, or milk that is too warm. Purge the wand, clean the nozzle air hole, and use cold whole milk with the tip just below the surface. More in our Steam Too Weak guide.
