Aurora Brugnetti parts
The Brugnetti Aurora is a compact single-group commercial lever machine, and plenty of owners keep these machines running long after they first left the factory. Keeping one on the bench is a rewarding project, and the right small parts make a big difference to how well it seals, brews and holds pressure.
The group head seal
The seal around the group head is what keeps the portafilter watertight when pressure builds. Over time it hardens and flattens, and you will notice water seeping out around the portafilter or a portafilter that locks too far round. Seals are made in slightly different sizes, so even a small difference in thickness changes how well the portafilter sits.
Portafilters
A portafilter takes a lot of heat and handling. Check the basket seat, the bayonet lugs and the handle for wear, and make sure it locks securely. If you are upgrading, remember that the portafilter and the seal work as a pair.
How to check fit
Do not assume a part fits because the brand name matches. Older Aurora and Brugnetti machines vary by version. Measure the inside and outside diameter and the thickness of your old seal, note any markings, and take clear photos of the part and the group head. The machine's model name or serial plate is also useful.
