This is the exit chute of my Forte BG. It blocks coffee grounds entering the chute and makes a little retention although the amount can be ignored. Does anyone know this gasket for?

Check out the post below. About half way through that post shows the rubber flap and how you can flip it upside down if you want to reduce retention even more. It can be more susceptible to static setup in reverse though.

So it is for eliminating the static?
