Abstract
A steam tube assembly for an espresso making machine includes a steam tube having a longitudinal axis and an outlet end; and a nozzle head attached to the steam tube at the outlet end. The nozzle head has a plurality of nozzle bores distributed in a circular array. Each nozzle bore has an inlet in communication with the outlet end of the steam tube and an outlet through which steam flowing in the steam tube is discharged. The nozzle bores diverge from one another as viewed from the inlet toward the outlet thereof and form an acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the steam tube.
