Expert Review
Daniel Foster Catering Equipment Maintenance Expert
Expert Review
If your coffee's coming out a bit watery or you're seeing drips around the funnel, it's a good bet this seal has had its day. These things wear out with constant use, but thankfully it’s a doddle to replace. Just pop the old one out, fit this new ring, and you'll be back to pulling perfect espressos in minutes.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the machine from the mains power first.
- Gently pry out the old seal with a small tool.
- Ensure the funnel seating area is clean before fitting.
- Check the seal for cracks or wear every few months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my seal ring needs replacing?
A: Telltale signs include water leaking from the group head during brewing, a drop in pressure, or visibly cracked or hardened rubber on the existing seal.
Q: Is this a genuine Buffalo spare part?
A: Yes, this is an official Buffalo AS289 replacement part, ensuring a perfect fit for models GM947, GM948, and GM949.
Q: Do I need special tools for installation?
A: No special tools are required. You can usually remove the old seal with a small, blunt tool and press the new one into place by hand.
