Conti Group Gasket  €8.99

Details:

This is a set of generic rubber gaskets to fit most Conti models - see fits tab.

You need to change your group gaskets as part of regular maintenance.

The group gasket seals the portafilter to the group and prevents coffee from escaping during its 9 bars of extraction. As the gaskets age, they go hard and pressure is lost as the coffee will escape from the side of the group.

When do I change the group gaskets?

• You should change your group gaskets every 6 months in a commercial environment and 12 months in a home setting.
• If group gaskets are not changed promptly - you will lose the 9 bars extraction pressure needed to get a good crema, as the gasket has gone hard and coffee will leak from the group.
• The gaskets will be very difficult to remove, as the rubber goes hard - change at the correct intervals and you will save time and improve quality.

            We recommend that you always keep spare gaskets.
