Custom Tune Up Kit 3in1 for Rancilio Silvia. IMS Nanotech Reinforced Screen SRT200NT, Cafelat Gasket - Green, Flat Screw

This is easy to install, and the flush screw is a nice touch. If it has any defect, I'd say that the gasket seems a little hard, and I've had some blow-by leaks from a virtually brand-new gasket. I haven't ruled out replacing the group head gasket a second time with one bought separately that maybe seals better.

I haven't replaced the gasket yet, but I replaced the screen on my V1 Rancilio Silvia with this one, and the head of the screw sits practically flush with the screen. This means I can use my espresso puck screen to fully geek out on my espresso shots. Nice.

I felt a bit skeptical about spending so much for a gasket, screen, and a simple screw, but hey, it works! I have an old v1 machine and everything fit perfectly. My old rubber gasket was very stiff and started leaking around the portafilter recently, and I started using a puck screen recently and the original bolt/screw was super annoying, so I decided to splurge on this kit. I removed the old screen, cleaned the grouphead, pried out the old gasket, and then dropped all the new items into the Silvia. The gasket seals better than my previous gasket ever did (the portafilter aligns with the dots now). The shower screen spreads the water out the entire screen, unlike my previous one which would just gush out the middle. The flat screw fits mostly flush against the screen - as other reviews have mentioned it will jut out just a tiny bit which is not a big deal to me. All in all this kit gave new life to my old Silvia V1 and I'm glad I purchased it.

Good replacement. Fit perfectly. Easy to install. Seems to me a good value for the price.

The flat srew is a big improvement from original that put impression in puck. The screen is OK, but does not fit as well as another (non E&B) version by IMS of an alternative for the OEM Rancilio. The Cafelat silicon gasket is well made but no matter how it is installed, shower screens get stuck in the group when portafilter is removed. Put a Rancilio OEM rubber version in group & screens remain in portafilter. Tried with 4 screens & 4 portafilters, and both used & new OEM gasket - the results were good with OEM & not Cafelat.

Finally dug the crumbly, disintegrating OEM gasket out of my ancient (still running strong!) Silvia and replaced it with this. Gasket is a little stiff at first, but quickly breaks in while maintaining a nice 'springy' feel when you insert the portafilter. The sieve produces a more even, consistent flow for better extraction, and the screw doesn't leave a big indent in your puck if that matters to you.

Fits my “V2” Rancilio Silvia from 2007 and its original portafilter. The main thing I notice — due to the gasket — is there are no more water leaks that used to come occasionally from, I think, around the top of the filter basket while pulling shots. Also the screw head in the middle of the screen is flat and flush and I no longer see a screw head indent in my puck as I did before. Does the fancy screen help? Well I’ve always been able to pull some god shots, but I’m sure it does help avoid channeling.

Very cheap product with really bad quality!!! The head of the little bolt that suppose to secure the screen is so small it goes through the screen after of just one month using my Rancilio Silvia making two coffees every morning !!! I bought a second one and it lasted even less than a month!!! I have my coffee machine for over 10 years and I am changing it every year with new screen and never got that issues before!!! I am returning the second one but stuck with this one because it’s been over 90 days and I can’t return!
