Its ergonomic design, combined with quality materials, makes it a worthwhile investment for both home and professional baristas alike.

Product Details

The Cafelat E61 8mm group gasket is made from high-quality food-grade FDA silicone. Unlike traditional rubber gaskets, it is odourless and tasteless, preventing any unpleasant smells or residues in your espresso. This silicone gasket is softer and easier to install compared to rubber, as it does not become rock hard. It has been designed to maintain the same compression strength as rubber while providing a better seal. This particular model is thinner at 8mm, which is essential for the correct locking position of the portafilter handle. Ideally, the handle should lock in directly towards you (at the 6 o’clock position). Using a gasket that is too thick or too thin can lead to improper sealing. It is important to note that while these gaskets can withstand compression, sharp tools such as screwdrivers should not be used during installation to avoid tearing the silicone.
