Silicone Gasket for Nuova Simonelli, Red - 8.3mm

OverviewCafelat spent months testing and adjusting the material so that these have the same compression strength as rubber but are also softer, making it easier to create a good seal. 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. You are potentially consuming that with each drink. These gaskets do not smell or taste like rubber gaskets. The thickness of the gasket determines the "lock-in" position of the portafilter handle. If the gasket is too thin, it will lock in too far, and if it is too thick, it will not lock in enough. Please note:- 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.
