The Weber Workshops BIRD relies on a perfect pneumatic seal to perform its signature “No-Bypass” extraction. Over time and after hundreds of brew cycles, the silicone gaskets that create this seal can naturally wear down, compress, or lose their elasticity. This Gasket Kit is the official maintenance pack from Weber Workshops. It contains a full set of fresh seals to replace the originals on your BIRD’s brewing pod assembly. If you have noticed that the plunger offers less resistance than before, or if air is slipping past the pod during the lift, a fresh gasket kit will restore the device to factory-new performance. Key Features Genuine OEM Parts Designed to the exact micron-tolerances of the BIRD’s glass and metal components. These are not generic O-rings; they are custom-molded specifically for the BIRD’s unique vacuum-pressure requirements. Food-Safe Materials Manufactured from premium, high-heat resistant food-grade silicone/rubber. These materials are odorless, tasteless, and built to withstand boiling water temperatures without degrading. Complete Refresh The kit includes the necessary seals to completely refurbish the sealing surfaces of your BIRD’s “Pod” mechanism, ensuring you don’t have to hunt for individual sizes. Technical Specifications Compatibility Weber Workshops BIRD (All Versions) Material Food-Grade Silicone / Rubber Function Restores vacuum seal & hydraulic resistance Weight ~40g (Complete Kit) What’s In The Box 1 x Complete Set of Replacement Gaskets for the BIRD Pod Maintenance Tip: To extend the life of your new gaskets, ensure the glass cylinder is clean and free of coffee grit before inserting the Pod. A small amount of water on the seal before brewing can also help lubricate the movement and reduce friction wear.
