Caffewerks

Caffewerks is a Seattle based manufacturer of replacement parts, tools, and accessories for the coffee industry. The company was originally founded as a consulting, prototyping and development firm but began designing, developing and marketing its own products. The team at Caffewerks has a demonstrated passion for coffee and boasts over two decades of specialist coffee industry experience.

Today Caffewerks manufactures preventative maintenance packages and replacement-parts kits that fit a variety of espresso coffee machine brands including Slayer, Mavam, Synesso and La Marzocco. They also produce standardized model E61 Groupheads that fit many other commercial and domestic coffee machine brands. Caffewerks uses an integrated 200 micron, etched stainless steel membrane in its E61 Group-screens. The screen creates an effective dispersion pattern over your coffee while at the same time, reducing the accumulation of coffee grounds on the rear of the screen. The screen is a one-piece design which allows for a better seal. The accompanying E61 style gasket comes in brightly coloured silicone. This increases visibility and the consistency of the silicone compound makes it easier to get a secure fit with the portafilter. The gaskets also tend to have a longer operational life than traditional gaskets since the silicone is highly heat resistant and espresso machine groups generate considerable heat. 

In addition to their maintenance kits, Caffewerks also produces individual Machine group gaskets, screens, and screws. They also introduced a range of specialist barista tools like coffee tampers and come innovations such as a portafilter with a built-in light.
