Seals & Shower Screens

Genuine & Aftermarket Group Head Seals and Shower Screens — Home & Commercial Espresso Machines — Australia

Two of the most overlooked — and most impactful — components in any espresso machine. Group head seals (also called gaskets) create the airtight connection between your portafilter and group head, maintaining consistent pressure throughout extraction. A worn seal causes pressure loss, poor crema, leaking, and inconsistent shots. Shower screens distribute water evenly across the coffee puck — a clogged or worn screen creates uneven extraction, channelling, and bitter results. Replacing both regularly is the single most effective maintenance step you can take for better espresso.

Di Pacci stocks genuine OEM seals and shower screens for the world's most popular home and commercial espresso machines — including ECM, Rancilio Silvia, Bellezza, La Marzocco, E61-compatible machines, and more — alongside precision aftermarket upgrades from brands like Pesado and Sproline for those who want to go further.
