Francis Francis bar silicon gasket
This is an OEM group gasket not original - 1mm narrower .
Details:
You will need to change your gaskets every 1-2 years.
You should also keep a spare under the tray for when you need to replace the gasket.
You will know when to change the gasket:
When the coffee starts to over flow from handle, when making a coffee. You won't have the correct pressure to extract the coffee, leaving a diluted watery taste in the coffee.
Tip: Replace before the gasket has hardened, otherwise it is harder to remove. No later than 2 years !

Easy to replace - all you need is patience and a awl or a sharp screw driver.
Remove the shower screen by unscrewing the main screw.
Remove the old gasket: Use an awl to remove the gasket or sharp screwdriver - it will come away in pieces as it will be brittle.
Insert silicon gasket - 💡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.
Screw back the shower screen.
Changing the group gasket every year will make this job relatively easy to do.
When to replace: When the coffee starts to over flow from handle, when making a coffee. You won't have the correct pressure to extract the coffee, leaving a diluted watery taste in the coffee.
