Flat carbo gasket LF L1186606

A flat carbo gasket creates a pressure-tight seal between the portafilter and the group head of an espresso machine. The material resists the high heat and constant compression of professional use, preventing leaks that would drop extraction pressure and spoil the shot. Without a secure seal, water bypasses the coffee puck, leading to weak or uneven extraction.

The operator fits the gasket into the groove of the group head, ensuring it lies flat and even. Once seated, the portafilter locks into place, compressing the gasket to form the seal. Over time, the material hardens and loses elasticity; replacing the gasket restores the original pressure and consistency of the espresso.

This gasket measures 57 mm in outer diameter, 43 mm in inner diameter and 3 mm in thickness, matching the portafilter and group head dimensions of the listed machines. The flat profile ensures full contact across the sealing surface, eliminating gaps that could allow water to escape.

Constructed from carbo material, it withstands the repeated thermal cycles and mechanical stress of daily service in a busy café. The gasket requires no maintenance beyond periodic inspection for wear and replacement when hardening or deformation occurs.

Compatible with espresso machines from Casadio, Faema, CMA, Astoria, Wega, BFC, Fiorenzato, Grimac, MCE, Orchestrale and Royal, among others. The catalogue places this item under spare parts for professional espresso equipment.
