Group Head Rubber Seal

A rubber seal is located in the Group 

Head and creates a seal against the Filter 

Basket when making an espresso.

Important:

 When your espresso machine 

is not being used, we recommend that you 

do not leave the Group Handle inserted 

into the Group Head, as this will reduce 

the life of the seal.

Over time this seal loses its elasticity and 

may require replacement. The seal may 

need replacing when watery espresso 

leaks from around the Group Head, or if 

the Group Handle feels loose when fully 

rotated to the centre position.

Note: 

Contact Breville should you think 

that the Group Head seal needs replacing. 

Do not attempt to change the seal without 

first consulting Breville.
