Cafelat group lever gasket kit

These new blue cafelat silicon V piston gaskets are made from heat resistant, foodsafe silicone and are 7.8mm in height -  1mm taller than the red ones.
They last longer and don't go hard like the standard rubber seal and are very soft, which makes a big difference when installing or removing as they are more pliable.

 As with any silicone seal, you should only use food safe silicone grease to lubricate them, do not slather it on, a sheen is sufficient.  Please note that although the gaskets are strong under compression, you should never use a sharp tool like a screwdriver to install them. This may tear the silicone.

The portafilter gasket is again softer than the rubber/epdm seals which makes locking the portafilter in a bit easier on the wrists. It is also designed to be softer to take into account the use of the E61 screens.
