Instructions & Care

Installation Instructions

Turn Off & Unplug
Ensure your Gaggia Classic is switched off, unplugged, and completely cooled before starting.
Remove Existing Parts
Clean the Group Head
Wipe away loose coffee grounds, then use a brush or backflushing method to clean thoroughly. This ensures your new parts work at their best.
Install the Silicone Gasket
Fit the Cafelat silicone gasket snugly into place, ensuring it sits evenly without twists.
Insert the New Shower Holder
Place the upgraded stainless steel shower holder (dispersion plate) into position.
Attach the IMS Precision Shower Screen
Align the shower screen and secure it using the included stainless steel screws. Tighten gently but firmly - do not overtighten.
Test the Installation
Run a short shot of water without coffee to check for proper water flow and sealing.

Care & Maintenance Tips

Backflush Weekly
Use a blind filter and espresso machine cleaning powder to backflush your machine regularly, preventing coffee oil buildup.
Rinse After Each Use
After brewing, run water through the group head for a few seconds to keep the shower screen clean.
Wipe & Inspect
Periodically remove the shower screen and rinse under warm water. Wipe down the shower holder to prevent residue buildup.
Replace Gasket as Needed
While silicone gaskets last longer than rubber, replace them when they become loose, brittle, or discolored—usually every 1–2 years, depending on usage.
Avoid Harsh Scrubbing
The IMS shower screen’s Nanotech coating is designed for easy cleaning—avoid abrasive pads that could damage the surface.
Check Screws for Tightness
Every few months, ensure the screws are still secure for consistent water dispersion.

Help & Advice

Is installation difficult?

Not at all. Most home baristas can complete the upgrade inunder 20 minutesusing a basic screwdriver. The kit comes pre-sized for the Gaggia Classic, so no modifications are needed. Standard screwdriver is enough to have. For best results, have a clean cloth and group head cleaning brush on hand.

Why is the silicone gasket better than the stock rubber gasket?

Silicone gaskets:

Are more heat-resistant and last longer
Don’t absorb odors or flavors as much as rubber ones
Provide a softer, more secure seal
Are more durable

This means less frequent replacement and improved machine performance.

Water is leaking around the portafilter?

Cause: The gasket may not be seated properly or may be upside down.

Solution: Remove the portafilter, check the gasket orientation, and ensure it’s evenly pressed into place. Make sure your portafilter is locking firmly.

Portafilter feels harder to lock in than before?

Cause: The new silicone gasket is slightly thicker and softer than your worn rubber one.

Solution: This is normal and will loosen slightly after a few uses. Avoid forcing — a firm twist is enough.
