Why Replace Your Group Seal and Shower Screen?

A worn group seal causes espresso to leak around the portafilter during extraction, resulting in pressure loss, inconsistent shots, and grounds contamination. The shower screen distributes water evenly across the coffee puck — a blocked or worn screen leads to channelling and uneven extraction. Replacing both together during a service restores full group head performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace the group seal?

As a general guide, replace the group seal every 6–12 months depending on usage volume. Signs of wear include leaking around the portafilter, difficulty locking the handle, or a hardened/cracked seal.

Is the shower screen included?

Yes — this kit includes both the 73×57×8.5mm portafilter gasket and the cup shower screen.
