Silicone gasket for Nuova Simonelli group heads (Appia, Oscar & Musica)

Group head gaskets are crucial  components for a good extraction. As they are subject to wear and tear they should be changed regularly, which can easily be done by the user.

The Cafelat group gaskets are made from food grade FDA silicone. Unlike regular gaskets that are made from rubber these do not have any smell or taste whatsoever, and are easy to change since they will not bake rock hard like rubber does.    

If you have ever struggled to change an old gasket you probably could not help but notice the awful smell and the black soot that comes off the rubber (and that is what you are potentially consuming with each drink)

Cafelat spent months testing and adjusting the material so that these gaskets have the same compression strength as rubber, but are at the same time softer so that it is easier to create a good seal.
