“Espresso Parts provided exactly what I wanted when I noticed -- months overdue -- that my head gasket had calcified. Prompt, attentive service and excellent pricing.”
“The Silvia is a machine that loves those who love it. And this is the gasket needed to make sure you are loving it as completely as it should be loved. It replaces the one in your machine that has become hard and brittle and full of the things you don't want in your coffee. Buy it, you won't regret it.”
“Purchased a new head gasket since the original was old, hard and dry. This gives a nice seal.
Tip to remove the original gasket: Screw into the old gasket, then pull on the screw to loosen it since it will be hard to pull out. That worked for me.”
“Waited way too long to replace the gasket on my Silvia and this factory part is perfect. Using a dental pick I was able to remove the old one which was no longer soft or elastic, and clean around the grouphead.
Installing the new one was simple as it seated very easily; the gasket and a new grouphead screen took care of the problem. Don’t wait more than a year to change these out if you’re just a morning user like me. Frequent use may require several a year or more. Espresso Parts service is first rate!”
