Cafelat silicon coffee group gasket kit for lever machines -💡Can be purchased separately - see below
Description:
These new blue cafelat silicon V piston gaskets are made from heat-resistant, food-safe 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 them 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.
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.
