Rocket Espresso Machine Maintenance - Replacing The Group Gasket

[@chim897]

Brilliant video. Thank you. Filter cleaned and new gasket ordered. Looking forward to the difference.

Espressotec: thank you Sir for the reply! Finally I removed it once it was cold with the quarter. Lucky I didn't damage it. It was pretty tight, I used the pliers. I didn't tighten too much after cleaning; just in case. Thanks again !

[@Espressotec]

Sometimes the water spreader is on tight especially if the unit is warm. If you are using a quarter, use pliers to turn the water spreader loose. I recommend using a wide flat head instead of the quarter since the brass water spreader is easy to damage.

Great instructions!

Thanks for this great video! Can you tell me what brand and size screwdriver you used for the diffuser? I can't seem to find one like you used. Thanks!

[@Espressotec]

@Rasmus Ottosen Generally for home use it can be replaced every year to two. During a grouphead we recommend taking the shower screen out with the group gasket and squeezing the gasket flat to inspect for any cracking and wear.

This was just what I needed... my group head ring was very hard and the stuff up behind so dirty. Question: how often do you recommend to change the group head ring? 

[@ASxROMA]

Can't seem to get brass thing off! Machine is 1 month old r58. Using a quarter coin instead of screw driver.I will wait until machine is cold and retry. Thanks for great video.

The shower screen is part # 1097 which is an OEM Rocket shower screen. Thanks for checking out the video and sorry for not posting the part #'s.

Brilliant Band-Aid! :)

[@Espressotec]

It helps lighten the mood after you get a cut :D

You don't make it clear what parts you are using. I have an Isomac Tea II (E61 grouphead) - the shower screen is like the one you show but has no groove to leverage the assembly out to replace the grouphead gasket. Could you help me with those part numbers from your site. Thanks for your video - very informative. I have replaced the gasket many times and it has always been a hassle - the lip on the shower screen will make it all so much simpler

Hello, Where do you find that paper gropu spacer ?

[@Espressotec]

It can be found on our website (SKU 2032) or most other espresso part websites.

[@wolf19170]

Espressotec Thank you.

could you tell me how I can unclogg the group head of bezzera machine

[@Espressotec]

The E61 grouphead on your Bezzera should be quite similar to the Rocket E61 as seen in the video. Remove the shower screen and diffuser and ensure you can get water flow. While those components are out, fully clean them using a brush and espresso machine detergent.
