Replacement Solis SL70 grouphead gasket

November 21st, 2022, 1:42 pm

I am trying to source a grouphead/portafilter gasket for my friends older Solis machine. Available space in the group head is about 50mm inner diameter and 69 outer diameter. Seems the gaskets I can find that will fit (Krups. breville, Saeco) all have fins and "v" that do not work with the Solis basket. So basically looking for a source for a flat gasket that is of the approximate size.

You could ask Solis International Exports. I have no idea if you'd get a response from this page.

Thanks for the idea - Emailed Solis and heard back next day. Solis does not supply an parts for the SL series espresso machines.

Alright then... If Solis no longer supports their product see if QCS (Canadian Solis Importer) in Vancouver might still have some "new old stock":

Problem solved.

I found a flat silicone o-ring on Amazon that works perfectly, just the right thickness. Very tight fit to get it into the grouphead but I just used some cooking oil to help slide it in.
