Hi,
Just thought i would share this information as many people have a Sunbeam EM6910 with a worn collar causing the portafilter to turn too far around or not even seal at all.
The ideal remedy is to replace the group collar however applying a small spacer (shim) under the blue group head seal may give you some more time on the worn group collar.
A shim can usually be made by tracing the group head seal onto a laminated card or other medium then cutting it out and making it fit but that's a fair bit of effort.
Coffee Parts sell a group head shim that is an exact fit for the EM6910 group head.
The shim part number is 700728 and is only around a dollar.
You will support a site sponsor and save yourself some time.
I've attached a photo of the shim in place and a well fitting group handle.
