Poor spare part and technical service

I bought a Trento Espresso Inox a year ago from Pea**** Cofee in Pinelands Cape Town. A couple of months later the basket gasket started popping and made the ground coffee spill into my cup. Initially I tried to order a gasket from Creative Housewares but they where closed due to lockdown. Lockdown eventually eased and I tried to order infact 10 of these gaskets 3 times already but the customer service representatives just never get back to me about when spares will be available. I know the machine has been discontinued apparently but they can atleast tell me that they can't obtain the spares instead of not knowing when the parts will arrive. So essentially the machine has been standing for 10 months now. And I've only had it for just over a year. And knowing this about the spare part, whats the point of sending it back? The wait will only continue. I drink coffee 5 times a day and I'd like to move on from here, must I throw my R2000 machine away and call it a day with Mellerware or are we getting a simple R10 silicone gasket???
