Unlike rubber gaskets that harden, crack, and leave behind foul smells and black residue, Cafelat silicone gaskets stay flexible and clean - even after heavy use. Expertly engineered to match the compression strength of rubber, this silicone gasket provides a reliable seal, reduces wear on your machine and preserves the cleanliness of your brew. Why Switch to Cafelat Silicone Gaskets? No Odor, No Taste – Preserve the purity of your espresso with food-safe silicone. Superior Seal – Softer material ensures a tighter, more reliable fit. Long-Lasting Durability – Harder and denser than OEM silicone, built to outlast rubber. Hassle-Free Installation – Easy to remove and replace - no more baked-on gaskets. Expertly Designed – Precision fit for Rancilio and Promac machines. Important Tip: Silicone gaskets are durable under pressure, but avoid using sharp tools like screwdrivers for installation or removal—they can tear the silicone. Use hands or a plastic tool instead.
