Frequently Asked Questions

What is the paper spacer used for?

The 0.5mm paper spacer is placed behind the group seal to fine-tune the portafilter lock-in position after fitting a new seal. It is used when the portafilter sits too loose or locks in at the wrong angle after replacing the seal.

Why use a silicone group seal instead of rubber?

Silicone seals are more heat-resistant and longer-lasting than standard rubber seals. They maintain their shape at high boiler temperatures and typically last longer between service intervals — an ideal choice for machines running at higher brew temperatures like the Lelit Bianca.

How often should I replace the E61 group seal on my Lelit?

For home use, the E61 group seal is typically replaced every 6 to 12 months depending on usage, or whenever the portafilter begins to leak during extraction or the lock-in point changes noticeably.
