I recently upgraded my steam wand to the Pro Touch unit, and I thought I'd share a quick overview of what the retrofit kit includes, and how to swap it out on the GS/3. I had the Burn-Me wand on the machine, so my installation will look different than what would be expected on...

Purchased a single burner induction cooktop. The now ancient BonaVita electric gooseneck thermal control has gone bonkers. Broke out the even older stovetop Hario gooseneck. It works on the induction cooktop (max 1800 watt spec), but not much quicker heating than the glass top...
