My old Gaggia Coffee, still going strong (with a new pump) after well over a
decade of service now leaks badly around the portafilter. A new gasket is
obviously in order but in shopping around on line I see various thicknesses
ranging from 7.5-10mm and warnings about how some of these gaskets are too
thick or too thin depending on which Gaggia you might have. Also there is
the mention of blue gaskets and how they are special order. My gasket
doesn't seem to be blue, but after more than a decade, who knows what color
it actually is. Anyway....

1st Line offers a set of two for 10 bucks, 8.5 mm thick athttp://www.1st-line.com/parts/gaggia/gaskets.htm

Espresso Parts has a 9mm gasket athttp://www.espressoparts.com/G_55

and Espresso Parts also has a 10mm gasket athttp://www.espressoparts.com/G_56

Parts Guru doesn't specify thickness but throws in a tube of lube. (Why?)http://www.shop.partsguru.com/product.sc?categoryId=32&productId=325

So, anyone out there know for sure which gasket I need for a Gaggia Coffee
that was made in 1996? TIA

Call the parts suppliers and ask which gasket is correct. Or, click on
