steam wand

Espresso machine attachment

A steam wand is the metal tube on an espresso machine that releases pressurized steam for frothing milk.

Baristas insert the wand into cold milk and use the steam to heat it while creating foam for lattes and cappuccinos: She angled the steam wand to get a nice microfoam.

Also called a steam arm or frothing wand.
