Cafelat E61 8mm Red Silicone Group Gasket  €6.99

E61 group 8mm version

Description: 

Cafelat was the first to produce silicon gaskets and still has the super soft silicon that is lacking in competitors' gaskets.

This 8mm version suits E61 machines under 2 years old - if older, you may be interested in the 8.5mm version, otherwise the portafilter may be a little difficult to get on. 

Made from soft and heat-resistant silicone, which lasts longer than rubber gaskets.
The internal groves and soft consistency make for easy installation and removal and the light color helps to detect if there is a build-up of coffee debris 

Why buy?

• If you notice that there's water leaking from the area above the portafilter, known as the group head, then your gasket is probably to blame.
• When changed your coffee cream will improve as you will have achieved the maximum extraction pressure of 9 bars. (The pressure will be constant as the filter basket has a full seal.)

Features:

• Better than rubber gaskets, since silicone has no smell or taste and is easy to change in and out.
• The light color helps to detect if there is a build-up of coffee debris.
• Easy to install - just push on and lock with the portafilter.
