CafelatCECOMINOD013419 Silicone Gasket

Had water leaking from the group head of my espresso machine but no more after replacing the original gasket to this one. Good quality and fit the size of my Gaggia Classic pro.

Brought after original perished. Hasn't failed yet and fits Gaggia classic very well.

Silicone is a much better product where heat is concerned, it doesn't go hard over time, so it maintains its ability to seal correctly. It's one of many upgrades I have done to make my coffee machine woke better for me. Fast delivery and works well, would recommend.

Pleased with the look, feel and fit of this. I got it to replace a genuine rancillio seal which was starting to leak. I thoroughly cleaned out the group head, including turning the machine upside down to leave cleaning product time to work. All parts looked clean and pretty much as new. I replaced the screen at the same time.However, I find that it still leaks clean water when making a coffee, even with the handle just past 6 o'clock and good and tight.It's better than the one I removed but not as good as when the coffee machine was new when there was no leaking.

I noticed my Cherub is leaking when pulling shots, so upon checking the original gasket, I found that it was very hard and brittle.I had a hard time plying the original gasket off so a quick search online shows that there is a trick. Basically use a self tapping screw to bite into the original gasket, then pull it out.Then just push the new silicone gasket in. So far, everything is working fine and there is no leaking anymore.

Installed it in my Rancilio Silvia V6. Fits live a glove. Just make sure to get it the correct way up. Bevelled edge down. Logo upwards into the machine. It has little more give than the hardened rubber gasket, really impressed.

Easy to install, the feedback indicates that it should out-perform the old rubber gaskets that became quite hard over time.So far, the most noticeable aspect is that the dispenser arm needs to be turned well past the normal position otherwise the gasket leaks.Aside from that, in theory it should out-perform the rubber ones.

This is a replacement gasket for the original one which was perishing on my espresso machine.Once I had the old gasket off it was easy to fit as it is somewhat more flexible. Did it make a difference - yes - as the seal was much better.
