Leaking Portafilter. - Back
Cleaning the Portafilter Gasket will stop most leaks, a good cleaning can be done when backflushing, using dishwasher detergent and hot water.( let soak for 30 minute+ ) however, with an old gasket it is hard to keep the same locking position every time, as well as losing space when handle is turning past the 90 degree.
Firm gasket will help to achieve a more precise same locking position for the Portafilter time after time, and to gain the maximum space for the coffee puck. This is more of a benefit when using "Hard Tamping".
Note: This trick may not work with the old V1 grouphead ( old Silvia )
Rancilio Portafilter Gasket firm. Firm will not work on the V1 grouphead.
