Faema Silicone Group Gasket, 8 mm E61
The standard-thickness silicone gasket for E61 groups, sized for lightly worn or like-new group heads.
SPECIFICATIONS
- 73 x 57 x 8.0 mm
- Material: silicone
- "REPA" and dimension markings face up when installing
COMPATIBILITY
- Fits: all variations of the E61 group with lightly worn or new-condition group heads
INSTALLATION
Remove the basket from the portafilter before installing to avoid tearing the silicone; don't force it with a sharp tool.
PRO TIPS
- If your portafilter still locks in around 5 to 6 o'clock, this standard 8 mm thickness is correct — once it starts locking in noticeably past 6, size up to the 8.75 mm thick version instead of tolerating the drift.
- Use a food-safe silicone lubricant such as food-safe white grease, never petroleum-based grease. When installing, never push it in with a sharp screwdriver — it will tear; use the portafilter itself with the basket removed.
