Description
The article discusses the importance of replacing the group head gasket on a Gaggia Classic espresso machine, which is made of silicone and may last longer than rubber gaskets. Signs that the gasket needs to be replaced include leaking and difficulty turning the portafilter handle. The silicone gasket is 8.5mm thick with an internal diameter of 57mm and an external diameter of 72mm, and is designed specifically for the Gaggia Classic Pro Home Espresso Machine. It is recommended to replace the gasket once a year as preventative maintenance.
It is inevitable that your Gaggia's group head gasket will experience wear and tear over time. It happens to all espresso machines and, after all, you're enjoying lots of delicious coffees, aren't you? Thankfully, a group head gasket is an easily replaced part. Even better, we have gaskets for Gaggia Classics that are made of silicone, meaning that they may last longer than other models made of rubber.
You'll know it's time to replace your gasket if you see leaking or if you can turn your portafilter handle very far to the right, suggesting that the gasket has worn out. It's not a bad idea to replace it once a year as preventative maintenance.
