Silicone group head gasket, 73 × 57 × 8 mm, for E61 espresso machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gasket sits at the top of the group head and presses the portafilter rim against the group. With heat and time, every gasket becomes harder and flatter. The portafilter then turns further in, the handle ends up further and further to the right, and at some point water escapes at the rim. A new gasket restores the original state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e8 or 8.5 mm – what the thickness does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eE61 gaskets almost always share the same diameters, 73 mm outside and 57 mm inside. What differs is the thickness: 8 mm and 8.5 mm are common. The thickness decides where the handle locks in. A thinner gasket lets the portafilter turn further in, a thicker one less far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8 mm version suits new or lightly worn E61 groups where the handle should sit at about 6 o’clock. If the handle turns clearly past 6 o’clock with a new gasket, a thicker gasket is the right choice. Lelit fits the same dimension at the factory (original part MC752\/6, 73 × 57 × 8 mm, silicone). \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/ecm\"\u003eECM\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/profitec\"\u003eProfitec\u003c\/a\u003e fit the 8.5 mm version on E61 models from 06\/2021 (original part P1021).
