One Hole Steam Tip for Izzo Alex Duetto (I·II·III·IV·MyWay) & Vivi

This Izzo one hole steam tip is an authentic 1 mm aperture replacement engineered for the 8.50 mm male-thread no-burn steam wand fitted across every Alex Duetto generation and the single-boiler Izzo Vivi. Threading this Izzo one hole steam tip onto your factory wand turns the Duetto’s confident steam output into a tighter, slower jet — denser microfoam, longer usable stretch window, and the glossy texture professional baristas pull in café settings.

Izzo’s Alex Duetto has been a boutique E61 dual-boiler favorite since the original Duetto launched, and each successive version (II, III, IV, MyWay) has kept the same fundamental architecture — including the 8.50 mm male-thread no-burn steam wand. The Vivi single-boiler shares the same wand thread. That means one tip serves the whole Izzo lineup that uses the no-burn standard.

A 1 mm single-hole aperture suits the Duetto’s confident steam output. You get a tighter jet, more usable seconds in the stretch phase, and the dense, glossy microfoam that makes free-pour rosettas land cleanly.

Izzo is one of the last hand-built Italian boutique brands — each Alex Duetto is assembled to order, with brass internals, an E61 group, and a no-burn steam wand that has carried the same 8.50 mm male thread across every Duetto generation (the original, II, III, IV and MyWay) and onto the single-boiler Vivi. That continuity is rare in this category, and it means a well-chosen tip is an investment you can carry forward even if you eventually upgrade within the Izzo line.

The Duetto’s two boilers run independently with a dedicated steam circuit, and pressure stability is exceptional. A 1 mm single-hole tip is the upgrade most often recommended on Home-Barista and CoffeeSnobs forums for Duetto owners chasing café-grade microfoam at home — the slower stretch phase tames the boiler’s confident output and delivers the dense, glossy texture professional baristas aim for.

🔩 Why Choose an Izzo One Hole Steam Tip?

• Made for dual-boiler steam: the Duetto’s steam boiler can over-stretch with multi-hole tips on small drinks — a 1 mm aperture re-balances it.
• Latte-art precision: tight, controllable jet for rosettas, tulips and hearts.
• Microfoam quality: slower mixing produces a creamier mouthfeel that complements the Duetto’s espresso profile.
• Bolt-on installation: no shims, no tools — threads directly onto the factory Izzo wand.

💯 Customer Support

At Papel Espresso our care extends beyond checkout. If you have any questions about fit, installation or maintenance, our team is one message away and happy to help you get the best from your no-burn steam wand.

Note on fit verification. Each batch of this steam tip is bench-tested in our workshop against the published 8.50 mm male-thread no-burn wand standard. Manufacturers, however, occasionally introduce minor variations between production runs — thread tolerance, seating depth or O-ring geometry can shift by a fraction of a millimetre from one batch of espresso machines to the next. Before placing your order, please verify the male-thread diameter and seating geometry of your specific steam wand (factory documentation or a quick measurement with a digital calliper is enough). Confirming compatibility prior to purchase is the buyer’s responsibility; if you are unsure, contact our support team before ordering and we will gladly help you verify the spec on your machine.
