This is the recommended lube for e61 brew groups of traditional manual espresso machines. It works beautifully. My machine squeaked a lot before using it. It works as new now. I am sorry I haven't used it much earlier, as some damage has already occurred, but will definitely use it regularly from now on. This is a must, and machine manufacturers should have told us to use it! (they don't; at least Bezzera doesn't). Bottom line - if you have an e61 machine, buy this stuff before you do your first chemical backflush. Enjoy!

There is nothing wrong with this product (and it is probably perfect for non-moving o-rings). My 3-star rating is for using Dow Corning Molykote 111 in DeLonghi automatic espresso machine brewing infuser. This lubricant makes moving the piston very hard after a few hours of non-operation.

I have been using this grease for over 30 years. It is a good silicone grease for gaskets, seals, o-ring,electrical connections, etc. This is a thick grease and stays put. If you want a thinner grease for light bulb sockets and the like get compound 4. Same stuff, but thinner.

I've used Dow 111 (now called molykote) since 1974 as a mold release, dielectric for battery terminals, and rubber seal preservative..... It's a fantastic product. A little goes along way on propeller shafts for outboard, and boat out-drives. You'll loose the cap, much before you use a whole tube!

This made the handle on my E61 grouphead very easy to turn. I had used a different brand earlier and this is MUCH better. This little packet probably is adequate for more than 100 applications.
