Large set Saeco Philips Moltio Syntia LatteGo xSmall gaskets + lubricant 5g

Ready to get your espresso machine working like new again? This comprehensive overhaul kit (15 o-rings + 5 g of grease) will solve the most common brewing block leakage problems - suitable for many Saeco, Philips, Gaggia and Spidem models. Below you can read exactly what the set contains, why the lubricant is important and how to perform the replacement step by step.

Why an overhaul kit for your coffee machine is important

Nothing is more annoying than water unexpectedly appearing under your coffee maker or an empty drip tray that keeps filling up. Often, worn seals (o-rings/gaskets) are the culprit. An overhaul kit prevents leaks, improves flow and extends the life of your machine. Remember: little rubber rings are often the silent heroes of your espresso experience.

What's in this set? (overview of parts)

The set contains up to 15 o-rings and a jar of NSF-certified grease (5 g). Specifically, the set consists of:

• 1 gasket for the seat block (large)

• 4 gaskets for the hot water valve (after the brewing block)

• 2 overflow valve/finger gaskets

• 1 gasket for water inlet connection

• 1 gasket for coffee press piston

• 1 gasket for coffee outlet

• 2 gaskets for piston hose at coffee outlet nipple (one is used per model)

• 1 jar of NSF grease, 5 g

A compact set, but with the most critical seals for machines with a typesetting block.

Detailed description of each component

• Seat block gasket (large): provides the main seal around the brewing block - essential to keep water and pressure within the brewing circuit.

• Gaskets for hot water valve: prevents leakage at hot water and steam supply; often four pieces needed depending on model.

• Overflow valve/finger gaskets: work together with the water supply and prevent water from leaking past hoses.

• Water inlet connection gasket: ensures that the connection between water tank/pump and machine remains watertight.

• Piston and exhaust gaskets: crucial for pressure build-up and coffee flow; worn gaskets often give less crema and spatter.

• NSF grease (5 g): high-temp silicone grease, taste-neutral and food-safe up to +200°C - use during installation and maintenance.

Which models are supported?

The set is designed for a wide range of models from Saeco, Philips, Gaggia and Spidem. Below are examples (not exhaustive):

Saeco and Philips models

(Various EP and HD/SM series such as Philips EP2200, EP3200, Saeco Lirika, Minuto, Incanto, PicoBaristo, Xelsis etc.)

Gaggia and Spidem models

(Examples: Gaggia Platinum-series, Babila, Accademia, Unica; Spidem SUP035 My Coffee and others)

In short, the set is universal enough for many typesetting block machines, but always check that your typesetting block uses the same type of seals as in the set.

Common leakage problems and symptoms

Recognise these signs: they often indicate worn seals.

How do you recognise worn seals?

• Excess water in the drip tray or under the machine.

• Water in the grounds bin (coffee grounds bin).

• Reduced water pressure or slow flow of coffee.

• Splashes or drips at the coffee outlet.

• Unusual noises during pumping (air inclusions due to leaks).

If you see one or more of these symptoms, it's time to check gaskets - and often replace them immediately with a set like this one.

Why our gaskets are high quality

Materials and service life

Our gaskets are made of heat-resistant, abrasion-resistant rubber or silicone compounds that are long-lasting. They are equivalent to original parts, meaning they offer the same dimensional and material quality as OEM seals.

Comparison with original parts

Although not official OEM brand, these gaskets approximate original specifications: fit, hardness and temperature resistance are matched to standard seat block requirements. So you get reliable sealing at a fraction of the price of separate original parts.

The included fat (5g) - why it is essential

NSF approval and food safety

The grease in the kit has NSF approval for food contact. That means it is safe in contact with parts where consumer food (coffee) flows or comes close. Silicone grease is odour- and flavour-neutral - essential to prevent your coffee from giving off flavour.

Lubrication advice (how often and where)

• Lightly lubricate gaskets upon installation and thereafter about every 500 cups - or check at every service.

• Use grease on the sleeve, piston and around each gasket; too much is not necessary - a thin layer is sufficient.

• The grease is heat-resistant up to +200°C, so it remains stable during normal use.

Step-by-step installation guide (basic)

Note: if you are not experienced in repairs, it is better to take photos of the parts and assembly first or get professional help.

Required tools and safety tips

• Small screwdrivers (cross/flat)

• Pliers (preferably with protective jaws)

• Tweezers or small hook for old o-rings

• Clean wipes and isopropyl alcohol or degreaser

• Gloves (optional)

• Unplug the machine and let it cool down

Step 1: Remove and inspect setting block

• Follow your model's manual to remove the brewing block (brew group).

• Inspect old gaskets, look for cracks, hardness or deformation.

Step 2: Remove and clean old seals

• Carefully remove old o-rings with tweezers; do not damage the housing.

• Clean grooves with a cloth and degreaser; remove coffee and lime residue.

Step 3: Lubricate and install new gaskets

• Apply a thin layer of NSF grease to the new gaskets.

• Place the gaskets in the correct position (use the set list for reference).

• Refit the brewing block according to the reverse order.

Step 4: Testing and checking for leaks

• Fill water tank, turn machine on and run a test cycle without coffee (water only).

• Check for drips or wet spots at connections and under the machine.

• Make an espresso and check again.

Tips to prevent future leaks

Maintenance interval and best practices

• Replace piston seal and critical gaskets every ~1000 coffee cycles or according to manufacturer.

• Clean brewing block regularly and decalcify as directed.

• Use the right grease and never household greases or oils.

Common installation mistakes

• Use too much grease - this attracts dirt.

• Putting wrong gasket in wrong place - pictures help.

• Do not test properly after installation - always do a water cycle.

When do you choose overhaul or professional repair?

Cost-benefit analysis: doing it yourself vs. having it done

• Replace yourself: Low price tag (the set is cheap), quick results, learning experience. Good if you are handy.

• Have it done professionally: higher cost, but guarantee labour and risk avoidance. Recommended if your machine is complex or you have no experience with disassembly.

If multiple mechanical or electronic problems are present (e.g. broken pump or electronics), professional inspection is usually smarter.

Conclusion

A small investment in a complete overhaul kit can save you a lot of misery: no wet kitchen table, better coffee extraction and a longer life of your machine. The set with 15 o-rings and 5 g of NSF-certified silicone grease provides just what you need for the most common sealing problems on Saeco, Philips, Gaggia and Spidem brewing block machines. Follow the steps outlined above, grease correctly and test; then you'll enjoy perfect espressos without leaks again.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

1. Is this set suitable for my specific Saeco or Philips model?
Yes, the set is designed for many models with a brewing block (such as Saeco Lirika, Minuto, Incanto and Philips EP series). Always check if your brewing block model matches the description; in doubt, you can compare the brewing block with the parts list.

2. How often should I reapply the grease?
A light lubrication on assembly and thereafter about every 500 cups is recommended. Check visually at service intervals.

3. Is the grease safe for contact with coffee?
Yes - the grease is NSF-certified for food contact and odour- and taste-neutral.

4. Can I always use all gaskets from the set?
The set is versatile, but not all gaskets are needed in every model. Use only the right size for your brewing block configuration.

5. What if I still see leakage after replacement?
Check that the right gasket is in the right place and that there is no damage to the seat block itself. If the leakage persists, consult a professional mechanic - there may be a crack or a misaligned component.
