Specifications
- E&B Lab, by IMS Shower Screen E61200NT - The integrated membrane shower screen is made of a single filtering part in stainless steel obtained through a process of photo-etching: special micro perforations are made inside the thickness of the shower to obtain a filtering power of 200 μm. Nanotech coating enhances surface of the screen, makes it much smoother, repels water, coffee and oils. Cleaning becomes much easier. Improves water flow. Increases extraction consistency. MADE IN ITALY.
- 8mm Cafelat Gasket is made of food grade FDA silicone. Unlike original rubber gaskets, Cafelat gaskets do not have any smell or taste, easy to change, very durable. Gasket is softer than original to ease a good seal. Cafelat specializes in gaskets for espresso machines and develop gaskets with the best fit.
- Silicone Grease Molykote 111. Safe, Tasteless, Odorless, Premium Quality. Safe for food and your espresso machine. Prevents gaskets from sticking to metal, plastic, resists weathering and water washout. Silicone gaskets require silicone grease, other type of lubricant may damage the silicone. Molykote 111 is The Industry Standard lubricant with decades of proven performance. MADE IN USA.
- Paper Shim. Optional to use. Helps in case of old, worn out or custom portafilter. If Portafilter locks in too far to the right you might install paper shim. It will make gasket "thicker" and portafilter will lock-in earlier, more towards the left side. Paper Shim is installed before the Gasket. Paper should face group head and not touch portafilter.
