The nozzle on my Fracino has welded itself to the wand and I can't unscrew it. Any suggestions for loosening it gratefully received.
Thank You

With the steam wand all heated up I find it easier to unscrew the tips if I use one of those anti-slip drawer mats to get a good grip on the nozzle. Lay the drawer mat in a thin towel, grab the nozzle and you should have a pretty good grip there.
If that doesn't work you might have "glued" it on with milk. In that case you might have to heat the wand, quench it in a cool water bath a few times and sometimes that will break it loose. For a really stubborn milk problem I suppose you could leave the wand submerged in water with the steam wand bubbling slowly to see if that loosens it up.
