La Pavoni Lever Upper Boiler to Base Gasket (8 cup) - 362019 From  £5.28

On this site there is a listing for this gasket on the outside of the base and separate listing for another gasket on the inside of the base. However, per earlier feedback to a comment and because the part number is the same for *both* gaskets, I assumed the original gaskets on my Euro Piccola were both the same size and bought 2 of this one. Upon installation, however, I observe the original gaskets are not the same size--the one inside (under) the base is more broad than the upper gasket. This is so that the lower gasket can fully sit under the hand turned heating element mount. That said, the good news is that the upper gasket is still the right diameter size for below the tank, so it's certainly a lot better than a broken crumbling original lower gasket like I had on mine.

Although purchasing it wasn’t exactly the most emotionally fulfilling moment in my life I can honestly say the gasket has worked flawlessly in tandem with the lower boiler gasket and I don’t have to deal with annoying puddles of water on my counter top.

I replaced this part on my 20 year old La Pavoni Europiccola after resolving an issue with the vacuum safety valve. The old gasket had hardened over time, and split when I removed the boiler from the base. This replacement gasket fitted perfectly, and the task was very straightforward.
