It offers superior heat resistance and durability compared to traditional rubber gaskets, ensuring a perfect seal without odors or taste contamination. Its precise fit guarantees optimal portafilter lock-in position, enhancing your espresso experience with easy installation and long-lasting performance. ## Description Premium Cafelat group gaskets are made from food grade FDA silicone. Unlike regular gaskets that are made from rubber, these do not have any smell or taste whatsoever, and are easy to change since they will not bake rock hard like rubber does. If you have ever struggled to change an old gasket you cannot help but notice the awful smell and the black soot that comes off the rubber. And that is what you are potentially consuming with each drink. Cafelat has spent months testing and adjusting the material so that these have the same compression strength as rubber, but are also softer so that it is easier to create a good seal. The replica E61 groups made these days are pretty much all the same, the different machine manufacturers then use either an 8mm or an 8.5mm group gasket. This is the red, thinner 8mm gasket. The thickness of the gasket will determine the “lock-in” position of the portafilter handle. Ideally you want the handle to lock in directly towards you (6 o’clock position). If the gasket is too thin it will lock in too far. If the gasket is too thick it will not lock in enough. Please note that although the gaskets are strong under compression, you should never use a sharp tool like a screwdriver to install them. This may tear the silicone. Review: Solved my problem - 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. Review: It's not hard like the rubber seals - 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. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 14 years.

It's an E61 but not sure all are alike.** A: Just installed in my ECM Giotto and it's a perfect fit. I read that if your handle is a little worn, the 8.5 is better than the 8mm version, but this one works fine for me. Very happy **Q: Will this fit an older pasquini livia 90? 8mm or 8.5mm? i believe livia 90 is basically a bezerra but not sure which model it is like** A: Actually it fits just fine... depending on which of the 3 listed you mean. The red (orange?) E61 8mm gasket is the same size Bezzera / Pasquini shown on Pasquini's site for sale for $8.50 (plus shipping.) Just check the image and you should see imprinted on the gasket "Coffewerks" and "E61 8". In other words, E61 and 8mm. That being said, my Livia 90 has been around for decades and I found the 8mm size was maybe a little too thin. The portafilter ends up turning an extra 30 degrees past center. So maybe 8.5mm might be better for a machine with more wear. Also, this type gasket doesn't fit all Livia 90s (SN >24000 or beginning LA or LS). Check to make sure which type you need. **Q: Will the red 8mm fit my ecm casa v?** A: What is your group head? E61? In that case you need a 8.5 mm gasket. **Q: will this fit my astra 1 machine** A: I believe it will, (if the dimensions in my manual are correct!) although I do see some recommendations for the slightly thicker 8.5mm gasket. These should fit most Astra, Conti, Expobar, Faema, Futurmat, Quickmill, Vibiemme, and other modern E61 groups, but there are quite a few variations among models and manufacturing years. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solved my problem *by E***L on 12 July 2024* Had water leaking from the group head of my espresso machine but no more after replacing the original gasket to this one.
