“Once you spend the $8 on one of these, you'll never go back! My first espresso machine came with a hard rubber gasket and I thought that was just a struggle that all baristas, regardless of skill level, had to deal with. When I was informed of the silicone ones, I immediately purchased one to see what all the fuss was about. These fit a Linea Mini perfectly, last a long time, and are simply perfect. Highly recommended!”
