The O-ring behind it seals it against the housing. It's the smallest part in the group head and one of the few you only notice once they stop doing what they're supposed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens when the ring hardens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilicone ages under heat. Over the years the ring loses its elasticity, becomes firm and no longer sits cleanly in its groove. Then some of the water finds its way past the edge of the shower plate instead of passing evenly through the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, this isn't a loud event but a quiet one. The shot becomes less steady, the body thinner, the sweetness no longer fully comes through – because pressure shapes the aromatic time window, and different compounds dissolve at different moments. Where the pressure escapes, that window shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing it takes a few minutes and usually happens together with the group head gasket and the shower screen. If you have the group open anyway, you do all three at once. That's our order of doing things – one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eO-ring for the shower plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGroup head\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57 mm, EM series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMC195\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLelit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLelit PL41EM, PL41TEM, PL42EMI, PL42TEMD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIn the box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 O-ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistinction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot for the 58 mm groups – there's a separate O-ring for those\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this O-ring is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone with an Anna or Anita who wants to renew everything in the group at the next service.
