Supplies for servicing espresso machines
A good service takes more than the replacement part. Lubricants, sealants and test gear decide whether a gasket seats cleanly, a fitting stays dry and pump pressure sits where it should. This collection gathers the supplies a workshop bench relies on, from tubes of grease to pressure gauge portafilters.
Lubricants and thread sealing
Silicone compounds such as Molykote 111 and Loxeal silicone tap grease are used on gaskets, O-rings and moving seals so they seat smoothly and wear more slowly. For threaded joints there are two routes. PTFE tape is simple to remove and reapply, while an anaerobic sealant such as Loxeal 58-11 cures inside the joint and is intended for metal threads. Read the datasheet for food contact suitability and material limits before choosing.
Test gear and workshop extras
A portafilter fitted with a pressure gauge lets you read pump pressure at the group, which helps when adjusting an overpressure valve. Versions are listed for E61 and Gaggia machines, so match the portafilter to your group. Thermal paste, Australian plugs, nitrile gloves and a water storage drum round out the bench.
