Although there are several culprits to be blamed, the most common reason why portafilters leak is a malfunctioning steam ring or group gasket. More often than not, this usually means that the group gasket is already dried out and cracked, which is why moisture is able to escape or pass through it. Now, all steam rings, at some point, will start to show signs of wear and tear. But there are some that are capable of prolonging the need for a replacement thanks to the nature of their material.
This 54mm Silicone Steam Ring by MacMaxe offers excellent value for your money thanks to its effectiveness and durability!
The constant need to replace your group gasket can be a tiresome and expensive task, but not with our silicone steam ring. Using superb quality silicone materials, its much more durable and lasts longer especially when you compare it to its rubber counterparts. This makes it a great investment for you and your machine, reducing the number of changes necessary, and saving you both time and money!

Whether youre running a small caf or simply love mixing your own brews at home, our silicone steam ring is here to help make sure that your machine is up to the task.

The constant exposure to extreme temperatures is one of the main causes of group gasket damage. Switching from hot to cold and vice versa can take its toll on the gasket, hence negatively affecting its structural integrity and shortening its service life.
But because our silicone steam ring can withstand extreme temperatures, it wont crack or deform as easily as rubber gasket rings.
Any group gasket will need to be changed eventually and so its essential to have a few spare steam rings at hand. This makes sure that youre ready whenever your old gasket starts leaking. Besides, the longer you delay changing your group gasket, the more difficult it will be in the future as the rubber hardens into the grooves. So do yourself a favor and save yourself from stress by grabbing an extra gasket or two.
Our 54mm silicone steam ring is designed to fit perfectly with a range of espresso machines.
