Breville The Steam Wand Cleaner – Box of 6 or 12 Sachets
Remove milk residue. Keep your steam wand clean and ready for the next latte.
Maintain your espresso machine's steam wand with Breville The Steam Wand Cleaner, a specially formulated powder that helps remove milk residue and buildup from compatible steam wands.
Milk proteins can accumulate on and around the steam wand, even with regular wiping and purging. This cleaner provides an additional maintenance step to help keep the wand clean without leaving an unwanted odour that could affect your next milk-based drink.
Breville's updated formula comes in convenient, individually packaged 10 g single-dose sachets, with recyclable envelopes and a simple cleaning process.
Choose your box size: 6 sachets or 12 sachets.
Choose Your Box Size
| Option | Contents | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Box of 6 | 6 × 10 g sachets (60 g total) | Regular home maintenance |
| Box of 12 | 12 × 10 g sachets (120 g total) | Frequent maintenance, multiple machines or stocking up |
Our recommendation: Choose the box of 6 for a single home espresso machine. The box of 12 is a convenient choice if you make milk drinks frequently or maintain several compatible machines.
Why Use Breville The Steam Wand Cleaner?
Removes Milk Residue and Protein Buildup
Steaming milk can leave residue on the wand and its tip. Breville's cleaning powder is formulated to help dissolve and remove milk deposits, including stubborn buildup that may remain after normal purging.
Gentle, Odourless Formula
Breville describes the formula as gentle on compatible machine components and designed to leave no odour, so you can return to preparing milk drinks after completing the prescribed cleaning and rinsing process.
Convenient Single-Dose Sachets
Each sachet contains 10 g of cleaning powder. The pre-portioned format makes it easy to prepare a cleaning solution without measuring loose powder.
Updated Recyclable Packaging
Breville's new recyclable envelopes reduce the use of plastic and blister packaging. Colour-coded sachets also help distinguish the different products in its maintenance range.
Designed for Compatible Breville Espresso Machines
Breville lists compatibility with popular models including the Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Barista Express Impress, Bambino Plus and selected Oracle machines. Always follow your machine's cleaning instructions.

How to Clean Your Steam Wand
Breville's quick-start guide recommends periodic deep cleaning, generally every 2–4 weeks depending on use. Its illustrated procedure uses one sachet with 500 mL of water and a 10–15 minute soaking stage.
- Consult the cleaning instructions for your specific Breville espresso machine.
- Prepare the cleaning solution using one sachet and the water quantity specified in the applicable instructions.
- Soak the steam wand and relevant components according to the prescribed procedure.
- Complete the required rinsing and purging steps before steaming milk again.
Important: Wipe and purge the steam wand immediately after every milk-steaming session. Periodic cleaning powder treatment does not replace daily cleaning.
