Our proprietary food safe silicone based lubricant is here
It is formulated to provide first class lubrication in high pressure metal to metal applications (e.g. bearings in lever espresso machines) & metal to synthetic seal
This is the lubricant that has been specifically developed for use with our Londinium spring lever espresso machine range
It will eliminate the need for us to offer two distinct products, Dow Corning’s Molykote 111 (metal to seal) and Ambersil’s FG1 Ambergrease for bearings (metal to metal applications)
We plan to offer it in 30mL screw cap pots which we hope is an ideal compromise between the 6g sachets that we offered the Molykote in and the 100g tube that we also offered the Molykote in
Londinium lube is considerably less viscous than Molykote so it is easier to apply in a thin film, rather than excessive amounts
Like Molykote it is translucent, so it is nice to use in situations where it is visible, such as on the bores of the Bacchi
