Professional Gasket for FAEMA E61 Espresso Groups
The 72.7 × 57 × 8 mm Espresso Group Gasket is a critical wear component that creates a secure seal between the espresso group and the portafilter during extraction. A properly functioning gasket maintains brewing pressure, prevents water leaks and ensures consistent espresso quality.
Replacing a worn gasket is one of the simplest and most effective maintenance tasks for preserving the performance of a professional espresso machine.
Premium NBR 85 Shore FDA-Approved Rubber
This gasket is manufactured from NBR 85 Shore rubber, approved for food contact according to FDA standards. The material offers excellent resistance to heat, pressure and continuous commercial use while maintaining the elasticity required for a reliable seal.
Its professional-grade construction ensures long service life even in demanding café environments.
Why Replace the Group Gasket?
Over time, constant exposure to heat and pressure causes the gasket to harden and lose elasticity. This may result in water leaking around the portafilter, difficult locking or unstable extraction pressure.
Regular replacement helps maintain optimal brewing performance while reducing unnecessary wear on the espresso group.
