Replaced the main seal on the espresso machine for the second time. Seems we reliably get about 3 years out of a seal (machine used 4-6 times per day for 2 people).

      Breville Barista Express, yeah.

      Very easy!

      4mm Allen wrench to free the shower screen, a cheap hook or even a small screwdriver and a needle nose pliers to pull the old gasket out (what I used).

      I just bought a 2 pack of silicone gaskets for under $10.

      I cleaned everything up before seating the new gasket (poked a damp rag up there with the hook).

      Good as new in under 15min. I made 4 doubles afterwards today.
