+1 on wanting them for the Cremina, especially given that a new Olympia gasket is $39.99.

Would any of the existing ones fit a Quickmill Achille? I think it is the same group as the Londinium. (or close to it)

Similar question as dpiette: I see V Rings in the picture, but I can't find them on the website. I would be interested in a full seal kit (including Piston seals) for my Achille.
Is a full kit available yet?

Thanks

Yes they use the same group so the gasket fits Quickmill Achille, L1, Bosco etc....

Will the group gasket be 5.5mm or 6mm thick?

I note the 5.5mm is for when an e61 style screen is used in the 'new lever group' and the 6mm is when the old 'pop on/off' screen is used.

Thanks.

Yes well spotted. I am working on adjusting the gasket to suit the screen, right now with the rubber seals everything is all jammed in there and doesn't seem right to me. I am trying to find a better solution using the silicone properties. Most probably the V seals will be out first whilst I tinker with the group seal, even though the group seal tool was made 2 years ago.

Great!

Or, if it is your belief and experience that the pop on/off allows more headroom and is cleaner, maybe just stock/sell those as a kit with the 6mm seal?

Yes could do, but I think it was more complicated than that. The portafilters for the machines that use the E61 sreens, londiniums, boscos etc...have been cut down to fit the E61 screen and group. The lock in position is too far over even with a 6mm gasket. I'll work it out next week.
