Nuova Simonelli Espresso Machine Parts: Performance, Longevity

Nuova Simonelli espresso machines feature various components that work together to produce high-quality espresso. Understanding these parts helps maintain your machine’s performance and longevity.

Screens

The screen is a thin metal disc located under the group head. When the pump is activated, water is forced through the screen’s holes, evenly distributing across the surface of the compressed coffee puck for proper extraction.

Gaskets

Gaskets are rubber or silicone seals that fit around the portafilter. When locked in place, the group head gasket forms a tight seal between the portafilter and group head, which is crucial for maintaining the right pressure during extraction. Worn or damaged gaskets can cause leaks, leading to weak, watery espresso.
