Know before you buy
Over time, the friction from moving parts can cause wear and tear on your machine's internal components. Applying food-safe lubricant ensures that the brew unit slides smoothly, preventing mechanical strain and extending the overall lifespan of your machine.
Yes, this product is NSF-rated and food-safe. It is specifically formulated to be used on internal machine parts that come into contact with the brewing process, so you can maintain your machine without worrying about chemical contamination.
You should apply a thin layer of lubricant to all sliding and gliding tracks within the brew unit. It is also essential for maintaining the integrity of rubber o-rings and seals to ensure they remain supple and create a proper airtight fit.
While frequency depends on your usage, a general rule of thumb is to lubricate your brew unit every 3 to 6 months. If you notice the machine becoming louder or the brew unit feeling stiff during removal, it is a good indicator that it is time for a fresh application.
This lubricant is specifically designed and tested for Gaggia and Saeco super-automatic machines. While the silicone formula is standard, we recommend sticking to manufacturer-approved products to ensure compatibility with your specific machine's seals and plastic components.
