Expobar brewtus gasket size?

[davewilton]

Could anyone tell me the gasket size for the expobar brewtus? Somehow google is not giving me the answer. I think it's 8mm. I'd like to try one of the silicone group seals.

Thanks

Yes I do believe 8mm is the factory standard but.... it really comes down to your group head and porta filter wear to determine what size you need (different manufactures/aftermarket porta filters may be slightly different too). Keep in mind this is only to determine the location of your porta filter when locked and not the gap between your basket and shower screen. I'd go for the 8mm and get some packers to fine tune if it doesn't lock in the position you are after.

Thanks Andrew I had not considered the packers I saw them and didn't understand what they were for. Makes sense now

The 8mm is the one to go for. It doesn't line up dead centre, this doesn't bother me but might be an issue for some. I tired the 8.5mm and its way too big
