Rancilio Silicon Group Gasket x 2 Green  €8.99

Description: 
This gasket is made from heat-resistant silicone, which lasts longer and does not go hard like the standard rubber seals - this makes a big difference in busy environments.

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 doesn't have any 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.
• 8.5mm thickness ensures that the portafilter faces the 6 o  clock position - useful if the machine is more than 2 years old.
• Easy to install - just push on and lock with the portafilter.

Contents:

• 2 x  silicon Group gasket   
• 1 x Paper shim - - this will prevent the portafilter from sliding to the right if the group/portafilter is worn.
