Bezzera Portafilter Gasket
From $20
The portafilter gasket is a component expose to the most wear and tear. It’s affordable and can be replaced by the user.
Best replaced together with the Bezzera Shower Screen
TIP:
Applying a good food-grade lubricant makes it a lot easier to fit the gasket into the grouphead. Always perform the replacement when the machine is not hot.
Delivered in 2-3 working days
Recommended to be replaced every year, or when the gasket hardens or cracks.
In some cases, if the gasket wasn’t replaced soon enough, it may get baked into the grouphead, and you may need our maintenance services to get it resolved.

BZ Grouphead (Round) – For machines manufactured from 2015 till 2023.
All BZ grouphead machines manufactured after from 2015 – 2023 were provided with a softer round gasket and makes it very easy to lock the portafilter.
Most of the BZ machines sold were fitted with this gasket.
Made with natural rubber
End users will much appreciate this new upgrade, the machine feels easier to handle when you fit the filter holder compare to any other machines.
Some users might perceive the 5 to 6 O’clock lock as being too loose or not sufficiently tight. However, it does provide an adequate seal. The sensation of the gasket being overly soft and requiring excessive turning likely stems from comparisons with older gaskets that have hardened over time and feel more rigid
Still, it is possible to use either the old or the new gaskets on all old and new BZ grouphead machines.
To know your manufacturing date, refer to the back page of your user manual or refer to the labels behind the drip tray.
For machines manufactured before 2015:
Machines produced before 2015 were using the old gaskets which were stiffer.
Bezzera has phased out this gasket and no longer produced
Replacement instructions:
Warning
Gaskets must be properly fit, else the portafilter might not lock properly which can result in it coming off during pressurisation. Release of portafilter during pressurisation can cause an explosion of hot water from the grouphead causing hurt and damage.
We will not be responsible for any damages incurred during the replacement. Gaskets sold are not refundable.
