We can take the outer plastic cover of the steam wand off but I’m not sure if there is a way to remove the metal piece, at least without a technician coming in to do it. I don’t think they’d ever allow us to use it again without somehow cleaning the inside of the metal bit with harsh chemicals. It’s a biohazard to let body fluids get in any of our equipment, so it would be an insane liability to have that machine in use especially if people found out about it because they would rightfully sue us. I doubt they would throw out the machine though. I’m guessing it would either be cleaned, partially replaced, or traded out for a new one and the old one would end up somewhere else after a deep clean. This is entirely my guess though, not any official position obviously.
