A: Each pack includes 2 silicone group head gaskets. It is generally recommended to replace the group head gasket every 6–12 months depending on your machine's usage frequency, or whenever you notice reduced portafilter grip or any signs of leakage around the group head.

Q: Is this gasket easy to install at home?

A: Yes! This gasket is designed for a straightforward replacement process with no special tools required. Simply remove the old gasket from the group head and press the new silicone gasket firmly into place. Always ensure your machine is off and cooled down before performing any maintenance.
