Introduction

If coffee keeps spilling out of your Moka pot and won’t stay in properly, then it’s probably missing a gasket or the gasket itself is too old and needs to be replaced. Replacing a decaying gasket is essential to prevent any leaks or spills. A rubber gasket should be replaced every six months to properly maintain the Moka pot.

Parts

New Gasket for a Moka Pot

Step 1

Disassemble the Moka pot by twisting the top counter-clockwise.

Step 2

Take out the filter.
Find the rubber gasket underneath.

Step 3

Take the rubber gasket off by rolling it all the way down.

Step 4

Insert the new gasket by rolling it all the way up.
Make sure the new gasket is secure by straightening it out at the top of the filter.

I've been using an espresso pot for years and have never seen a gasket on the funnel. I need size info for the gasket around the filter in the top of the half of the pot. The reservoir hold 8 oz. of water. Wish more info was available.
