Kelsey Having a look on CoffeeParts, I was thinking about ensuring I had a spare group seal in the house. They've got two: http://www.coffeeparts.com.au/domestic-parts/machines/bezzera-bz07 One is a Group Head Seal (o-ring) and the other is a Group Head Seal (conical). Dimensions appear to be the same. What's the difference?
Dry_bean FWIW Kelsey, I've got an unused conical Bezzera seal sitting on my desk, was sent to me in error by Bezzera, QLD and they didn't want it back. Your welcome to it for the cost of postage, PM me if your interested. 🙂
Koffee_Kosmo A conical seal is for commercial machines and may not suit your machine BZ07 But I could be wrong KK
Kelsey @DryBean - Thanks DB, I'll do just that. @KK - It's in the BZ07 section of coffeeparts, so I was curious. My current seal is pretty thick - the PF has never once gotten as far as locking in straight!

I remember on my BZ40 that they had both hard and soft compound seals Hard for on all day commercial machines and soft for the home users KK
Kelsey No, I probably should. I don't like bothering Chris with the small stuff tho. Just thought I'd try something from somewhere different.

Kelsey I'm sure Chris would be fine with it, he's extremely good with his customers. I'm just less inclined to hassle him when we don't have your usual retail relationship.
