Whether you’re a home barista or run a busy café, maintaining your coffee machine with the right parts is essential to keeping that espresso flowing. But with dozens of brands and part types available, knowing what to buy – and where to buy it – can get confusing fast. This guide will help you navigate the world of coffee machine spare parts in Australia, understand what you need, and show you exactly where to find high-quality, machine-compatible components.

Why Quality Spare Parts Matter
Coffee machines are intricate pieces of engineering. From group heads to solenoid valves, even the smallest part can dramatically impact coffee quality or lead to costly breakdowns. Using cheap or incorrect replacements can:
- Lead to poor performance of the coffee machine for example poor espresso extraction
- Compromise pressure and temperature control
- Cost you more money in the long run – due to the cheaper quality of the parts they often do not last as long as genuine or high quality aftermarket parts
If you’re serious about coffee, investing in genuine spare parts or quality aftermarket parts from trusted suppliers like Di Bartoli’s Service Centre isn’t just a luxury – it’s a necessity.
Most Common Coffee Machine Spare Parts (and What They Do)
Whether you’re troubleshooting issues or doing regular maintenance, here are some of the most frequently replaced espresso machine parts:
- Group Head Seals/Group Head Gaskets: Prevent leaks at the group head. If you notice a leak when you’re extracting coffee, it’s time to replace the group head. For domestic use, replace every 18 months. For commercial machines, replace the group head every 3-6 months.
- Shower Screens: Evenly distribute water for optimal extraction. If you’re cleaning the shower screen regularly and you are noticing low flow out of the group head, it may be time to change your shower screen.
- Steam Wand Tips: If you need more or less power with your steam wand, you may want to change your steam wand tip to incorporate more or less holes than your current steam tip.
- Portafilter Baskets: Fine-tune your espresso dose. Replace if damaged or worn or if you need more or less coffee in your extraction. We offer a range of after market filter baskets, check out our VST range for further details.
All of these are available under Spare Parts on the Di Bartoli website.
Bonus Tips:
- If you’re using filtered water, many components like restrictors, heating elements, pipes, valves and fittings will last significantly longer.
- Using cleaning solutions regularly (like Cafetto powders or tablets) will keep the performance of the machine optimal and your coffee tasting better.
- Heavy usage (e.g., office coffee machines) = more frequent spare parts replacement.
Common Coffee Grinder Spare Parts and When to Replace Them
Just like espresso machines, coffee grinders need regular attention to perform at their best. The most critical components are the burrs – either flat or conical metal blades that grind coffee beans to the right consistency. Over time the burrs dull, leading to uneven grinds and inconsistent shots. On average, burrs should be replaced every 5 years or so for home users making coffee daily, and more frequently in an office or café setting, depending on the capacity of your grinder.
Many brands often have brand-specific coffee grinder spare parts, so it’s essential to match replacements with your grinder model. A well-maintained grinder not only improves espresso extraction but also extends the life of your machine by ensuring proper puck saturation and pressure.

Tips to Extend Your Coffee Machine’s Life (and Reduce Part Replacement)
- Use filtered water – Reduces scale buildup and protects internal components.
- Clean regularly – Use approved cleaning solutions and backflush with chemical after every 1kg of coffee or every 4 weeks – whichever comes first.
- Avoid vinegar – It doesn’t actually do anything (except leave a funny taste in the machine)
- Schedule routine servicing – Di Bartoli recommends every 18 months for home use, 6–12 months for commercial setups.
