Upgrade your La Marzocco GB5 S espresso machine with the essential Performance Touch Steam Kit (Part #1022), engineered exclusively for the new GB5 S model. This genuine OEM kit replaces your standard steam wand assembly with the high-performance "cool touch" technology. The key feature of this system is the specialized double-wall insulation, which keeps the exterior of the steam wand cool even during extended periods of use. This critical upgrade is designed for high-volume commercial environments, offering superior thermal protection and enhancing operator safety and comfort. The primary benefit of the Performance Touch Steam Kit is its enhanced safety and improved workflow ergonomics. By eliminating the risk of accidental burns from touching a hot steam wand, baristas can operate more confidently and quickly. This technology also minimizes dried milk residue buildup on the wand exterior, simplifying cleanup and maintaining hygiene standards throughout the busy workday. For usage, the kit allows you to retrospectively change the complete steam arm and mount of a non-Performance Touch steam arm, ensuring reliable, high-quality milk steaming without compromising safety. The kit includes the complete steam arm and all necessary components for installation on the GB5 S. While specific technical specifications like dimensions and exact materials are not listed, rest assured that as an OEM part, it guarantees seamless compatibility and the precision engineering La Marzocco is known for. Investing in the Performance Touch Steam Kit (1022) is crucial for maximizing barista safety, streamlining milk preparation, and maintaining the highest operational standards in your café.
