Description:
This silicon gasket is made by REPA - one of Europe's leading spare part providers to the catering industry. Made from heat-resistant silicone, which lasts longer and won't break apart when removed, unlike rubber gaskets that go hard and brittle after 12 months.
Why replace your group gasket:
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.)
We recommend that you always keep a spare group gasket and change your gaskets every 12 months.
Features:
Light color helps detect if there is a build-up of coffee debris.
Soft silicon makes for easy installation and removal.
No rubber smell - food-safe silicon.

This silicon gasket was purchased altogether with E&B LAB Nanotech shower screen to replace the OEM parts on my ECM Technika IV Profi (2014 production). Fit is great, makes great combination with shower screen and portafilter. Needs some break in time though. Amazing product, great customer service and fast delivery to Hungary, happy with my purchase.
