54 mm group gasket
Dianrui 54 mm Group Head Gaskets (2-pack)
Why we picked it

How to choose
- Want better shots from the same machine. Start with the IMS 54 mm basket.
- Want to see the pour. Add the Normcore 54 mm bottomless portafilter.
- Want a puck screen that actually fits. Use the 53.3 mm Normcore screen, not a 58 mm screen.
- Routine maintenance. Use Claro filters if your machine takes BCC010, and replace the group gasket when the portafilter gets hard to lock in.
These parts are also the usual fit for other 54 mm Breville machines such as the Barista Pro and Bambino. Confirm your model before you buy the Claro filter pack.
FAQ
What size portafilter does the Breville Barista Express use?
54 mm. That is why this page does not list 58 mm VST baskets or 58 mm bottomless portafilters.
Do these fit the Barista Express Impress or Barista Pro?
The basket, bottomless portafilter, puck screen, and 54 mm gaskets are made for that 54 mm group. Confirm the Claro BCC010 filter against your exact model.
Where do the prices come from?
