“I've tried the softer E-61 gasket, it's hard to get a complete seal with that one on my machine (Faema Carisma). This one works really well and doesn't break the bank.”
“The Faema/E-61 Group Head Portafilter Gasket is my favorite gasket in the world. I have experienced many gaskets in my lifetime, and I can honestly say none can compare to this one. It is soft and supple, with excellent gasketization. The shape of it... so perfectly round. Yet with a gentle squeeze it can become oval. It is truly a magical thing. And my espresso tastes amazing too! I pulled a shot just this morning that tasted like heaven in a cup -- thanks, no doubt, to my new Faema/E-61 Group Head Portafilter Gasket. I would recommend this gasket to anyone seeking a new gasket. You won't be disappointed.”
“This gasket fits my 1961 President perfectly (it's the Zodiac group.) If your portafilters are spinning further around in the group, get the larger one. I actually bought that one for my other group and it did the trick. The real kicker is the Espresso Parts service: the process and ship quickly so I don't have to go into caffeine withdrawls!”
